As far as I can tell, the process for dealing with misbehaving plugins is: - users report problems, either directly to the author or in the forums - the author, or a helpful user, fixes the problem
That's certainly been the case whenever any of my code has had "unintended features" ;) So v7 will indirectly help to streamline this process, as the intention is to make it easier for users to upgrade plugins to the latest versions.
