Please stop removing old versions from the WP repo.

  • By removing previous versions you’re preventing people from using a different version. This is annoying from an ops perspective: provisioning any new instance can only use/test/develop with the latest version, even if an older versions exists in production.

    E.g. (4.4.8 is current version as of writing this):

    $ wp plugin install duplicate-page --version=4.4.7
    Error: Can't find the requested plugin's version 4.4.7 in the www.ads-software.com plugin repository (HTTP code 404).
    $ wp plugin install duplicate-page --version=4.4.6
    Error: Can't find the requested plugin's version 4.4.6 in the www.ads-software.com plugin repository (HTTP code 404).
    $ wp plugin install duplicate-page --version=4.4.5
    Error: Can't find the requested plugin's version 4.4.5 in the www.ads-software.com plugin repository (HTTP code 404).
    etc.

    Please stop removing old versions from the WP plugin repo!
