I think there is a historical pattern of same thing happening with PHP, when things like cake-php and other foo-php started gaining enough popularity to irk PHP core folks about it. Though I don't remember PHP doing an outright war against them like Matt/WP, I think they did alter their license and mention specifically to not use their name in the project in a way that associates them to PHP.
