This, and I hate putting someone in a situation that they don't know up from down... Even with the "highly opinionated framework" thing you still get lots of variation on how things are built, and my products are no different

Agree. In my family we weren't allowed to trespass and had designated areas that were public where we would go off and adventure. Some involved a short bike ride. We weren't allowed to just go start playing in someone else's

It's liability. Letting people onto your property is liability no matter what the context. Unsupervised kids roaming my property is a no-go and not my responsibility. I get that people want to have their ideals here, but there's a

Yep - I run my own composer-driven WP setup based on the roots design and can honestly say that it's an anti-pattern with how WP wants to handle plugins/themes/core updates/etc. I say it's an anti-pattern because we
