IMO: 1. Let's completely remove all the mentions of particular plugins from the "boss.html". I don't think it's the most efficient place to let people know about extensions to JMeter. And now it definitely violates ASF policy. 2. Let's add vendor-neutral call to search for extensions in the most visible places, like downloads page, main page, anywhere else. This will comply with ASF policy and at the same time will tell wide masses that they can add a lot of value to their JMeter by using 3rd party plugins. Something like "You can add a lot of additional features to your JMeter by installing various custom plugins. Search for them in the internet!" might work.
