Notably, Matt will still personally control what is and isn't allowed to be contributed to WordPress Core.

Otherwise, the very first commit should be removing all the personally identifiable information and other telemetry sent back to Matt's personal website (WordPress.org) and WooCommerce.com that isn't properly documented anywhere. [0][1]

At the very least, there should be code changes facilitating informed consent.

Of course, even though that is in the best interest of WordPress users, Matt Mullenweg won't let that happen. Because, money.
