 The Plugin Dependencies feature plugin is
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22316 currently slated for
 WordPress 6.3], although subject to change.

  - https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/02/24/feature-project-plugin-
 dependencies/
  - https://github.com/WordPress/wp-plugin-dependencies

 To prepare for this, we could:
  - Block plugin submissions and updates which reference dependencies which
 are not valid
  - Block plugin submissions which use the Dependencies feature but are not
 Requires WP >= 6.3
  - Potentially delist existing plugins when the dependencies become
 unavailable (ie. Required plugin is removed from the directory, a plugin
 which requires that plugin should not be installable)

 This ticket is a holding ticket for keeping it on the radar, but I have
 nothing to commit related to it right now.
