WPwatercooler Quotables
"Hell yeah, I think it's good." Jason Cosper
"My opinion is changing because the WordPress rollout schedule has been changing. ...You're talking about sites that are run by non-technical people. They may not know what to do or have the resources to fix it." Steve
"In my opinion, this should be between the hosting companies and site owners, not WordPress and site owners." Manny
