All this talk about restructuring the plugin repo and still the biggest issue I, and many others have isn't being addressed.

Outdated plugins litter the repo.

It's a drain of time and energy to look for plugins there because more than half the plugins on the first 5 pages of any search are not listed as compatible with the current WP version.

They can change it around all they want, but as long as the repo is clogged with old plugins, it's still a crap shoot to find new plugins you can use. And best of all, it's entirely fair. If authors don't like not being listed, tough. Update the code and problem solved.

Anyway... looks like the repo is going to continue being useless. I'll stick to Envato for the time being.
