It's really up to the plugin author to document compatibilities rather than Maven core running around and building a list.

I never knew that kind of feature existed. Can the minimum recommended version be listed in Maven release notes though? It would be nice to a have a table with what versions should be used with 2.0.8for the best support. Education and visibility on this issue is key, imo.
