 preposterous, but borderline offensive. Development for the new Directory
 happened publicly over the last three months, including the discussions
 around where these links should be placed. Not once did we get feedback
 from theme shops.

 I can't help but to be angry. Not because of the link misplacement (it
 happened, so let's fix it), but because of answers I read on this ticket
 from WP.org team. @Otto42 initially even suggested to hide it under a
 drop-down, @coffee2code is dealing with upload link and @melchoyce wants
 the filter bar pure (nobody cares about plugins bar I guess). All while
 the original issue is significant drop in traffic. I probably overreacted,
 so sorry about it, but I just don't think you know how significant impact
 this minor change has on small theme shops. Let's see how it goes with
 second navigation, but I'm afraid it won't fix the original issue.
