IIRC there are already 70(?) million WP sites, with 45(?) million not hosted on wordpress.com. I wouldn't be surprised if this built in git deployment makes that number grow much more quickly. It sounds like a lot of people already treat WP like a tech stack. So, this could basically be treated like heroku.
Yup, "treating it like Heroku" is exactly our idea! They showed the way and we're happy to follow their lead and bring that functionality to the WordPress community.
