I think that plugins that have a maxVersion set to less than 7.6 will be 
disabled when they run.

No, there's not clues at all.

The maxVersion checking is just annoying.  Some plugin devs set the version 
number to the version that they know the plugin works in.  Therefore, when 
there are updates to SBS, the plugins get disabled/not listed, even though they 
might work fine.  There's no clue as to why a plugin says it's incompatible; 
it's only a version check.

I set my maxVersion to *, as I am not aware if it will work or not.

What I think should be done is add provision for another version property (eg. 
maxTestedVersion). If maxVersion is exceeded, the plugin should not 
run/install.  If maxTestedVersion is exceeded but maxVersion isn't, allow the 
plugin to run, but warn that the plugin may not be compatible.  Perhaps 
automatically change logging level to debug, or something like that.
