     4This answer is quite unexpected. I've got a few follow up questions:
    55- https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress.org_API is publicly accessible, there is no warning that is shouldn't be used, nor any explanation on what its intended purpose is. Why is that?
    66- after a quick search through the support forum, I'm apparently not the first one to have stumbled upon this "public API" problem (e.g. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-the-wordpress-org-api/). Already at the time a suggestion was made to add a warning to the very same documentation, yet one of your colleagues refused to do so. Why is the WordPress.org team so keen on repeatedly misleading users?
