   This closure is temporary, pending a full review.
 * What happened, what does it mean?
 * Thanks for the clarification.

 * This is a nonsensical restriction by the repo admin team.
 * Pretty much all plugins restrict features unless a pro license is purchased, 
   including Automattic’s own Jetpack plugin.
 * There is no mention of the word “trial” or even the idea of a trial for the free
   version.
 * It works as-is with a 10 folder limit (not a trial), limit.
 * The free plugin does not expire as you would expect a trial to do.
 * Leaving 3,000+ active users in limbo because of a bad interpretation is a bad
   failure of management.

 * I’m very surprised that this plugin was removed from the repo because of the 
   folder limit. How is that making it a trial? This is MESSED UP and is a really
   bad call by the WP repo team. This decision should be reversed.

 * [@tekfused](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tekfused/) :
 * I agree but the question is: how do we users find who to contact and make our
   voices and concerns heard?
 * If there is a known point of contact, please broadcast it here and I for one 
   will strongly advocate for the reinstatement of the **FREE** non-trial version.
 * It appears that the site management is quite capricious in their selective interpretation
   of “the rules” and ignoring the dev when he tried to clarify.
 * A big “sheesh” for this mess.

 * I wonder what’s taking so long, it’s been nine months!

 * He’s communicated recently on the plugin’s FB page indicating a significant release
   is due any time now.
