A reminder to avoid name-dropping in the #forums Slack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. room. We are in many ways the public face of WordPress, and perception is a fickle beast. It’s hard to properly convey intentions via text on the internet, and what we say can lose context or be misinterpreted. Let’s help each other to remember not to drop names/usernames in the channel moving forward.

No new issues have arisen for 4.9.2 (thankfully, with 4.9.3 on the horizon).
