Jeff,

"36,000 listings" ~ yes, but how many of them A) have been tested with the latest WP release?, and B) how many are still being actively maintained?

And what use is plugin branding if you can't find one that won't crash your site or add a whole bunch of insecurities because its out of date?

I think you are right when you say "a fresh coat of paint".

Its just a shame that they are still having to paint over the cracks.

Personally I would much rather see the fundamentals get fixed first.

Terence.
