 Replying to [comment:1 the ank]:
 > Solution - When the first time this plugin API triggers, it should keep
 a log of required plugins not in wordpress.org and ignore those plugins to
 trigger check API.

 Yes, that should basically work, but ideally it should also handle cases
 where developers are working on custom plugins on their own server, and
 then later they submit the plugins to the WordPress Plugin Directory.

 Using the example above: `foo` might be a custom plugin, but some day in
 the future it might actually show up in the Plugin Directory, and at that
 point it would make sense to retrieve plugin information from the Plugin
 Directory with an HTTP request.
