    44This stat has been proven to be unreliable because it's easily gamed by authors. We've chosen not to show this for now because of this reason and felt that showing which version of WordPress the plugin is compatible with was more important and pertinent.

     6>The old format puts the rating with the other details, so it's always in the same place.
     7>The new format puts the rating after the title, artificially increasing its prominence and making it harder to compare as the titles are not always the same height.

     9The ratings is the most sought after stat proven by the various user tests we've conducted. So what we've done is help bring that up a bit. Having that rating move up or down slightly based on the title length is really insignificant.

     11>The old format clearly shows the details at the bottom of each card.
     12>The new format shows unnecessary icons with the details, making it more cluttered to read.
