 > Is there a way to show which plugins are running old versions and get
 recommendations for updates in the plugin area?
 I doubt, but since my last incursion, I did more research and found a very
 interesting post :
 https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/244537/why-does-wordpress-
 use-outdated-jquery-v1-12-4/244543

 While this doesn't solve the problem, it answered lot of questions I had.

 On the other hand, it drives me nuts, I mean who cares about supporting
 EOL and unsecure stuff but WordPress? I guess it's their contribution to
 worldwide accessibility. Well, it has its limits.

 For example, all clients we host know that we allow only a specific SSL
 CYPHER suit which will prevent old browsers (aka Nokia 6110 mobile owners
 still browsing the web with) to access their website for security reasons.

 Some might care, some not, it's the way it is. But at the same time, we
 don't plan to host every website on the planet like WordPress would like
 to "Power" every website.
