 Replying to [comment:3 griffinjt]:
 > Are you insinuating here that WordPress should do this or that plugin
 authors should do this?

 Since custom repositories are not going to be supported by core, I guess
 plugin authors who need a custom repository should create a meta plugin
 (intended to be network activated) which would add support for that
 repository, allowing inactive plugins to also be checked.
