The revision system is not (not is it claimed to be) a sacred principle of life, morality, or society at large. It's a core tenet of WordPress.


According to whom? I’ve developed and run Wordpress sites for nearly 15 years and never enabled revisions on a single one.

This whole line of thinking—one person defining the “core tenet” or whatever—seems directly contrary to the ethos of open source. If Matt doesn’t think people should be able to turn off revisions, he should put that in the license. Otherwise, users can do what they want and open source leaders should celebrate that.


Isn’t it even just a setting they changed? From my understanding they didn’t even change the code, they just changed the setting from the default.
