Im sure most of them would come here and ask for help anyway and then
someone can help them troubleshoot. A list of unsupported plugins that
have been verified to work in the LMS plugins tab isnt going to help
them anyway because the probable cause is one of the plugins that dont
work and that will not even be in the unsupported list. Looking at
maxVersion in install.xml wont help them since it at least for my
plugins will look like they are going to work forever since Ive set
maxVersion to *. Looking at maxTarget in repository files might work but
thats a significant change in LMS source code and Id personally prefer
if that time instead was spent on implementing music related
functionality or fixing bugs in broken plugins.

It would be something separate, not a part of LMS, so it would of course
be available before, during and after an upgrade. You can look at it as
a table on a web page with a row for each available plugin and a column
for each LMS release and an x in each table cell combination that works.
Someone would still have to create such matrix (maybe you if you see a
need for it?) but what Im saying is that its unnecessary that Michael
spend time on it since its totally separate from LMS source code.
