 Currently, when looking at the plugins update table on the `/wp-admin
 /update-core.php` page, it says whether the plugin is compatible with the
 version of WordPress you are running and the latest version (or just the
 latest if you're on it).

 It states that it's 100% compatible. This seems to be left over from the
 old days when people could rate if a plugin worked on a certain version,
 but this doesn't apply anymore as it either does work, or it doesn't. You
 can't quantify it with a percentage because it's just not possible. It
 either works or doesn't.

 I'd suggest the wording here is updated to reflect the current state of
 plugin compatibility by replacing the percentage with either a yes or no
 value.

 It's my understanding that based on the meta data in the plugin readme,
 it'll either be 0% or 100%, so that's either a 0 (no) or 1 (yes). I've
 attached a screenshot of what I mean.
