Technically, no, and I put that in place temporarily for the NB 14 release candidates. The problem is, the plugin centre was never ready during NB14's lifetime, and that temporary change is still there! https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/blob/master/netbeans.apache.org/src/content/.htaccess#L31 It just opens up a whole bunch of other issues, including going back on what was previously agreed upon, making shipping plugin updates a problem, and generally not being transparent to users about what they're receiving. All of which causes additional work for us too - eg. out of date plugins leading to bug reports. >From a release perspective, we have certain fixed dates where we need things in place in the plugin portal. If the current portal and process cannot meet those requirements, then we need to replace it. But realistically that's not going to happen until NB17 at the earliest.
