I'm getting tired of repeating this every time. WordPress.com does NOT power the 20% of the internet. The open source WordPress project does. WordPress.com represent a small % of all the WordPress installations.



I'd estimate WP.com is about half of all WP installations, maybe more.


> WordPress powers 20% of the Internet (yes, you read that correctly!), meaning they’ve got a ton of experience scaling services

My point is that these two sentences are totally true, but put together like that are misleading. And that's a bit discouraging for the non-automatticians contributing to core.
