[wp-hackers] "Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress."

set?

The plugin header is:

=== Ozh' Who Sees Ads ===
Requires at least: 2.5
Stable tag: trunk

So, no, no tested field. "Requires at least 2.5"  means just that. It 
means "works from 2.5 to 6.0."

"Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of 
WordPress." is totally random and definitely not true. This is a 
misinterpretation.

"Warning: This plugin MIGHT not be compatible with your version, ALTHOUGH 
I don't have any real clue to assert this" would be a more accurate 
statement.

A *LOT* of plugin are totally version independant. They're just basic 
filters and actions.

I think I'm going to put a dummy "tested up to: 9.99" and never bother 
again with that.

To me it would make sense if the readme.txt made sense.
