 when we visit for instance https://wordpress.org/plugins/delete-all-
 comments/#description

 It will tell you this "This plugin has been closed and is no longer
 available for download."

 However ..
 visiting the wordpress.org API ->
 https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/delete-all-comments/

 shows
 "Plugin not found."

 Why not
 1) at least show a message here that is the same as on the plugin website
 ?
 -> Task for Make
 2) also show this in WP->tools and/or WP->plugins and/or WP->dashboard
 -> Task for Core (plugins/API).

 Because .. right now , if you have such a plugin installed, and you do not
 visit the wordpress.org page for that plugin. You have *no* knowledge of
 this data/info at all.
