 I think it would be helpful to users if they get a notification if they
 are using a closed plugin/theme from the repo's.

 I'm thinking this might help website admins avoid hacks and such because
 they are using a plugin/theme with a vulnerability.
 Since, currently it's quite a manual check.

 At the other hand, it has the possibility to create some fear culture.
 Especially if a plugin is e.g. shutdown because a trademark issue and
 sometimes those can be resolved "easy and fast" (changing the logo/name or
 a trademarked name in a string...)

 So, what do you all think?
