“WordPress is in trouble” depends on what “WordPress” is. WordPress the supply chain is currently dependent on wordpress.org. The community is working to route around this by decentralising distribution - see efforts such as AspirePress. Wo

ClassicPress is the only public one with any traction. wordpress.com could be considered a private fork.
