 >  (to hell with them if they don't have the latest WP).

 The WordPress API as it is, Only returns the highest COMPATIBLE release i
 believe.. Or at least, Thats what the install API does, i think the
 upgrade API does the same. (Can someone confirm?)

 This means, If i release a plugin update requiring 2.9, 2.8 users will not
 see the upgrade notice.. Combined with supporting the previous stable
 release of WP for security...

 I think this could do with a bit of plugin developer input as well.. Bring
 it up early in he 3.0 cycle to see what they think?
