This is nothing short of an attempt to squeeze everyone out of a market that has used their fair use phrases for over a decade. What’s left is Automattic having an unfair competitive advantage for a phrase people recognize and use for searching allowing them to dominate paid searches.
Match this up with the corresponding Managed / Hosted variations for WooCommerce and it’s all spelled out for you.

#WordPress devs, I wonder, how do you handle your plugin’s options and init in integration tests? I mean if you want to test different options, all the init process is already done (WP hooks like `plugins_loaded`, etc) with default options we may want to change for this test.
So, some kind of re-init? Remove previous hooks? Delay the plugin init until the test? Find a way to get the right options right from the start?
Why boosting your own toots? So I can see them again in case I forgot about them after 3 days?
