 * Hi guys,
 * You are a great hoster that claims to be THE WordPress hoster, so please update
   your plugin or remove it (temporarily) from wordpress.org until you are willing
   to free up some capacities to continue working on it.
 * This plugin creates countless hours of extra support work for many WordPress 
   developers and volunteers in the community due to its false-positives.
 * Please remove it or update it with a maintained whitelist of “working plugins”
   to get rid of nagging false-positive messages that confuse and irritate the users
   of our plugins.
 * That is an outdated plugin that has not been confirmed to work with the latest
   WordPress version, either. It shows false positives all the time, and we, as 
   plugin developers, can nothing do against it except telling other users constantly
   not to rely on your tool.
 * We get all the time the same question why our plugin WP STAGING does not work
   with the latest PHP version due to the false-positives the PHP Compatibility 
   Checker throws.
 * For sure, we are not the only developer with that issue.
 * Any plans for a proper whitelist handling?
 * Cheers,
    René
