With so many plugins in the Repository, I suppose it is extremely difficult to keep up. However, that being said, it would be great if they could find the really old ones and maybe move them to like an "Archive" type page so they did not populate on the front side (if that made any sense?)

I realize that many of them do still work, however, we all know as things roll within the WP network, there will come a day when they die or cause a site to go down.

I would like to think that as a developer of a plugin, you would want to keep them updated and certainly if you were thinking of taking them to the premium level. But who am I? I just love to design in WP and the thought of delving into the plugin or theme development arena just makes my nerves come unhinged!

But kudos to those who do keep their plugins and themes current with the latest WP releases.
