Comment (by afragen):

 Replying to [comment:2 Otto42]:
 > Correct. Part of the deal with hosting plugins on WordPress.org is that
 the plugin updates be available from WordPress.org.

 Updates to the add-on plugin would be available from WordPress.org

 > if the dependency does not exist here, then the plugin is invalid,
 because the dependency is not available here.

 This is a logical fallacy. Are you really prepared to say that the
 repository is not the place for free plugins, that just happen to be add-
 ons for premium plugins?
