Comment (by joyously):

 I'm not ever reading reviews or looking at star ratings because I'm a
 programmer, so I look at the code. But most people do look at the ratings.
 It sort of sounds like you are suggesting some sort of sliding time frame
 that the ratings are calculated from, so that the rating average is from
 current ratings (within that time frame) instead of the lifetime of the
 plugin. This would more accurately reflect the current state of the
 plugin, but the way around it (since people will game everything) is to
 close the plugin and start a new one.
 Perhaps if the rating was tied to a version number, but how do you average
 those or display them all separately?
