#2645: Plugin Directory: Installation instructions missing - May withhold
essential information

------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 The Plugin Directory's previous tab for installation instructions went
 missing in the new Plugin Directory. -- This might not seem a terrible
 loss in those numerous cases, where the only installation instruction
 given is yet another description of how to install a WordPress plugin as
 such. There must be tens of thousands of such cases.

 In many cases, however, plugin developers have chosen to use the now gone
 Installation tab to give not only meaningful but essential instructions
 regarding plugin deployment and usage. I've seen many cases like that.

 In these cases the now missing/inaccessible installation instructions mean
 that a given plugin can no longer be installed and made to work correctly,
 and it may even appear broken because of this!
