Comment (by Clorith):

 It should be more complicated than that, yes.

 One thing is if you hit an "invalid" structure, as mentioned in a previous
 comment.

 My concern that needs ot be addressed is when you take into consideration
 things such as like folder name (slug) matching. Someone made `my-plugin`
 as the slug for `My first plugin`, but there's already a `my-plugin` used
 by the `Mittens by York Plugincompany` who prefixed their plugin with `my`
 followed by `plugin` as the slug.

 What happens if I accidentally grab an older version and upload it, should
 it automatically replace everything, should I be notified that I'm about
 to perform a downgrade (I think I should be).
