Comment:

 "Tested" was chosen instead of "Not Compatible" for that exact reason, it
 leaves it open.

 Some plugin authors set the compatible version to 2.8.9. That solves the
 2.8.x compatibility issues.

 Perhaps the point release should be striped from compatible.. and just
 leave that for required.

 BUT in the same light, With security changes in point releases, some
 plugins will break, therefor, setting it to compatible-with-all-point-
 releases has the downside of being incorrect for some plugins.

 WordPress.org milestone: Its an website/API issue.
