Comment (by folletto):

 I'll leave the dev questions to devs, as for the others:

 > As said, we are not checking versions. But we are showing comparison
 table only if we found plugin data in existing directory and after
 validating the uploaded package is a plugin.

 This seems ok to me... I mean, if it's not a plugin and it has no
 metadata, it shouldn't even try, no?

 > This will not allow user overwrite a package by adding parameter on URL.

 This seems alright in general, but I'm not sure what this means exactly.
 Can you clarify?
