 be impacted and there is no workaround. In this case, there is a
 workaround (in fact, there are two) and it only impacts users who attempt
 to upload a zip that is created in one specific way.

 > Hello @jorbin -- I see the workarounds for plugin authors. We've created
 a new zip file for our plugin and are distributing it to users that write
 a support ticket. We're also deploying an update to our plugin today with
 a zip file created using the preferred workaround.

 or updating a plugin that isn't the author of that plugin? How would they
 know to unzip the plugin or theme and rezip it?

 THIS is the issue. This is ALWAYS the issue. Not everyone who uses
 WordPress uses the command line. What about the blogger or business owner
 working on their site who has a deadline and now can't get anything done
 and has no idea why? They are not going to know to unzip a file and rezip
 it in the command line? Are you kidding me? This is a HUGE issue.
