 > @afragen The other ticket was about something else. You are making the
 same arguments for this ticket as the other ticket. Well, the other one is
 done and we are living with it, and now think that it needs improvement.
 > This ticket is about the **fact** that it is not helpful to have to
 click on the Details to see the important information of the version
 number needed. It's about making the interface easier for the user, to see
 at a glance why some plugins cannot be updated.

 I’m making the same arguments as the same arguments apply.

 What exactly are the **facts**? Currently all I’ve seen is opinion -
 yours, mine, Garret’s, and Justin’s.

 I appreciate that we all wish to improve WP but my opinion here is that
 displaying multiple different pieces of the same information (minimum PHP
 version) will be more confusing to the user than their ability to use the
 //View Details// link.

 Thus far all we’ve been doing is going back and forth with our opinions.
 Can you point to significant evidence/data A/B testing to show an actual
 issue? How many issues directly relating to this are in the forums? Is
 that a significant number?

 @joyously I’m waiting for the facts.
