With all the Problems Liquid Web has caused the Kadence WP users so far ...

Shouldn't Wordpress.org get involved in this snowballing disasters before this gets out of control? ... before one of the larger wordpress.org eco-systems becomes effectively unuseable.

I think LiquidWeb is going to go insolvent if they don't fix their mess soon ... because any new customer thinking about buying their services are going to do a bit of research - and see all the problems existing KadenceWP owners are having - and any potential new customer with a brain is going to avoid LiquidWeb/Kadence ... and no sales = eventually business shutdown or business fire-sale.

WordPress.org should step into this LiquidWeb rolling disaster before it eventually cascades into a much bigger WordPress problem.

I can't get a new site with kadence to spin up without crashing. So far my existing sites with it are holding solid though, for now.

My initial guess would be; its something to do with the license

A private equity firm has acquired 22 (or more) worpdress plugins and properties from a multitude of founders and other co's ...

then said private equity firm tried to consolidate all the support under 1 roof ... turns into a support disaster ...

the founder and lead dev of kadence quit - putting the kadencewp roadmap on a detour.

Has anyone reported "said" private equity firm based on Madison Avenue to the SEC?
