the moment (it can be brought back if we feel super strongly about it):

> * The "Last updated" date is a little misleading because it's when the
item was last updated on .org, but within the site health context it reads
like when the item was last updated on your site. Presumably for many
sites those are the same thing, but I don't think that's universally the
case enough that we can phrase it this way.
> * I still would like for the full date to be available
somewhere/somehow, whether displayed as a parenthetical or using something
like `abbr` to make it available in another way (whatever is semantic and
accessible, of course).
> * If we're looking at this as a piece of information to help site admins
decide what can be cleaned up based on inactivity, it is impossible to
scan in this format and I am not sure line breaks would help much if they
can even be added. Adding it only to site health feels just informational
and not actionable.
>
> I think I'd like to see some exploration about how to enable the
workflow that I think is being described here, which is a site admin who
is reviewing/managing plugins based on whether it's been kept updated. I
agree that adding banners/notices inline in the full list view is probably
going to end up overwhelming and ignored, but maybe there's an alternative
like an "Outdated" filter or something like that.
What if there was a "Screen Options" available here where it could be
toggled?
