 Or even better, people should assume it doesn't exist.

 This follows the discussion here http://tommcfarlin.com/upgrade-wordpress/

 I know it is possible to add a text to that effect in the readme.txt file,
 but it is not the same, and you can't expect plugin authors to release new
 versions just to reflect the change in their available time.

 Alternatively support policy should have a tab of its own on the plugin's
 page.

 In addition, there should be a way to contact someone that will provide
 paid support for the plugin. By default it should be the plugin's author,
 but it might be a good idea for other people to be able to provide this
 kind of service as well.
