 Replying to [comment:19 Otto42]:
 > A consideration brought up is that this is highly subject to gaming via
 artificial version inflation. People will bump versions of apps
 specifically to "reset" their reviews.

 Yes, this was mentioned in comment:10 as well.

 The patch on #152 doesn't reset reviews though, it just records the
 plugin/theme version for support topics and reviews, which would make
 support a bit easier, and might also come in handy for the new plugin
 developer dashboard that has been

 discussed at the latest Plugins Team meeting].

 Having the versions data, we can decide on the best way to use it while
 preventing plugin developers from gaming the system. Otherwise, both #152
 and this ticket can be closed as maybelater or wontfix.
