Matt Mullenweg (founder of Wordpress) shares his initial opinion of this petition

A great article by WP Tavern on the topic of ClassicPress has been written and we've seen our first response from Matt Mullenweg on the topic.

"No plans to ever have direct vote determine strategic direction in WP, but we are having a bit of a referendum in the adoption of the Gutenberg and Classic Editor plugins, people are voting with their usage. The people are deciding."

Are you anti-Gutenberg in core? Make sure to install the Classic Editor so that Matt can use this (somewhat disingenuous metric) for deciding on the future of Gutenberg.
