 The Plugin API requests are returning data which isn't displayed/needed.

 The data items in question for Plugin info is the full compatibility
 matrix (wp version, plugin version, does it work or not) and the Plugins
 tags.

 This is easy to handle client or server side, simply requires extra array
 items to be added (in either case).

 I'm leaning towards a core change here, as we don't currently have any
 decent documentation of the API, and as a result, bumping the API which is
 being used by others without a proper documentation and changing the
 return data ever so slightly doesn't seem worth it.
