WordPress.org temporarily lifts its ban on WP Engine

Quick Summary:

WordPress.org has lifted its ban on hosting provider WP Engine until October 1, after putting a block on it earlier this week.

The block prevented several sites from updating their plug-ins and themes and exposing them to potential security risk.

However, the WordPress community at large has felt uncertain about how they can use WordPress in their services and if Automattic or Mullenweg would come after them as well.
