Comment (by joyously):

 To me, the existing Support link to the .org forum seems fine, and isn't
 broken at all. This ticket proposes that there is a problem to solve, but
 I don't see it.
 The plugin developer can already ignore the .org forum, can put a sticky
 post saying their support is somewhere else, and also gets their search
 ranking skewed by support requests resolved counts. They already know the
 consequences of using a different site for support, and have ways to
 convey that to users.
 No problems...

 The previous remark about development elsewhere
 > Which is also why I don't restrict myself to using the .org SVN
 repository for all of my development. I want to use the best tool for the
 job today serves my users.

 doesn't apply since the .org repository is not a development repository;
 it is a production repository. We are talking about support here.
