[wp-docs] theme and plugin compatibility pages

[Lorelle VanFossen]

I'm totally with you all on this. I have never been happy about the
promotion of "premium" stuff on the Codex in any way.

And I think it is natural to add an option for versions, especially as the
information is already in there. I think it should be sortable by versions.

So who do we talk to on the WordPress/Automattic staff handling the Extend
projects to nag them to make this happen? Hmmm, can't remember. I'll have to
ask. Do you know?
