Almost nobody.
Except the people who are responsible for or manage 40+% of the websites on the internet. The ones who are aware of how early they might become "acceptable collateral damage" to Matt's deranged "nuclear" "war" on WPEngine, and the business ramifications of "waiting till the war settles" if that means significant website downtime or emergency website migration to avoid it.
Which, if the numbers I've seen bandied around are accurate, is something like $400mil annual revenue to WPEngine, representing over a million WPEngine websites who are _directly_ in danger of Matt's current supply chain attacks. And with dozens or hundreds of smaller WordPress hosting companies looking on in horror wondering if they and their customers are next in Matt's extortion war. And probably tens of thousands of web dev firms and digital agencies who're all thinking "WTF?" and making contingency plans for all their WordPress clients no matter where they're hosting them.
