 > We actually put checks in now, you cannot submit a plugin with a
 permalink that's used in ''or'' outside of WP.org

 Does this mean WP.org is logging every single install's private plugins,
 even if they have no front-end traces? What about intranet sites? This
 seems both hacky and privacy-violating to me.

 > Also we do a little more than just say "Oh Ari Bloomberg submitted a
 plugin?" :) You have to actually use an email from the domain if you're
 claiming to be an official plugin. Not to mention we punt trademarks
 pretty hard these days.

 I think you've missed the point there. The account in that scenario would
 be trying to appear ''unrelated'' to Bloomberg the company, in which case
 they ''wouldn't'' be expected to have an `@bloomberg` address.

 > Sure something could slip in

 And therein lies the problem.

 > Now that said, I would '''still''' prefer we have a way to say "Don't
 update this via .org, ever" for non-org plugins, just as a matter of
 course.

 This is what we're all waiting for.
