 > We know. The thought is that if you're 3 major releases behind, there
 have been a LOT of changes, more than just two years may indicate.

 I can understand your thought but I'm not sure this is the right way. I
 have over 30 plugins, many of them are simple oEmbed plugins, registering
 different oEmbed providers. Or simple plugins that add a simple shortcode
 or a metabox.

 Those plugin can't really break the site, they are tested on clients
 sites. Releasing an update for dozens of plugins every 3-4 months is not
 realistic. At least not from a developer point of view.

 Unless the repo can offer an easier way to update the `Tested up to`
 value. In the past there was an attempt to give access to the plugin repo
 back-end. It was supper easy to update the general setting of my plugins
 using a meta-boxes. Not sure why it was removed.
