    initial v1  
    1 "Relatively easy" is not the same as 'efficient', especially when you have no idea which plugin version the person was using and they made need to do a 'stepped' upgrade depending on which version they're having to go back to. The older system was the most efficient way to communicate with end users are not necessarily technical, but need to be helped in the quickest most efficient way possible because when it's 'go back to a prior version' it's WSOD, client's screaming time.

    33Honestly, if the best solution to all of these questions like 'where did this go, where did that go' that all seems to apply to Developers ONLY is 'we didn't feel the users needed this and it was confusing', just put it in a Development tab like the Admin Access and be done with it. Plugin Developers are your clients to the Plugin Directory as well. Most of us don't treat it like a 'listing service' only; it's a necessary function of our communication with users in multiple languages.
