This is a lame excuse. Automattic doesn't have the resources to even update the compatibility strings? I refuse to believe that.

Also, why take something over and then not update it? They didn't need to take it over in order to use it. Taking it over also means taking on some responsibility.

Sorry, but "it's on github", while meaning something to the technically inclined, leaves the vast majority of WP site admins out in the cold. People are trained to get plugins from the wp.org site (aside from premium versions sol d by their developer).
