there are two different thinks at work here:

- association of a plugin version with a NetBeans Release Version
- verification of this association

from my perspective all "Verification" can do is to check a plugin
looks normal and does not immediately destroys your data. Everything
else will not scale (and yes not doing verification at all is IMHO an
option).

What we could do is this:

- tie verification to a plugin version not the NB-Version<->Plugin 
  Version combo
- add an option to the admin tools, that allows to add
  NB-Version<->Plugin associations as a batch process if a
  association (NB-Version - 1) <-> Plugin exists

The alternative would be that plugins are not automatically added, but
the author is informed that a new version is available and that the
author should enable his plugin for the new version.

I added Jiří Kovalský as a direct To, so that he is aware that this
discusssion is happening.

I'm willing to make code changes to the plugin portal, but I don't want
to be rushed, so I definitely won't release any code for the portal
this week.

Greetings

Matthias
