 * As slack user “otto42” pointed out:
 * > … **no**, we won’t publish a plugin that isn’t public. You submit the plugin,
   > we review it, you fix the problems, we review it again, and so on until it’s
   > suitable for public publishing on the site.
   > As for plugin-update-code, if your plugin has its own update code, then it 
   > is very likely to be rejected in the first place. We have update code for the
   > directory, you don’t get to use your own. If you mean code to process changes
   > in versions, then we can tell you how to do that correctly before the plugin
   > goes into the directory.
   > So, in short, there is no need for you to “test the directory” process, because
   > we won’t put it in the directory until we’re sure it’ll work properly in the
   > first place.

   Your assistance. Sorry for not posting to the right sub-forum. I will write them
   on slack, and post an answer here, if I get any.
    Cheers!
