I still think it would be good practice to add 2.9-beta1 to the dropdown. That way we can begin capturing that information and plugin authors will get feedback before 2.9 goes gold.
Not sure what caused the confusion but it would be good for the list if we could all agree that it's now cleared up and just leave it there.

I believe when scribu said automated, he simply meant that all plugins on Extend will now automatically have the ability for end users to share compatibility results without relying on a Codex page, not that all plugins have their compatibilities automatically generated. A poor word choice maybe, but it is what it is. We don't need to continue going on and on about it. The fact is that the people that decide things for WP.org decided that the compatibility reporting tool on the plugin page itself is preferable to the compatibility page centralized on the Codex. On that, I, and I believe many others, are in agreement that it is a step forward. I wouldn't be surprised if a very large percentage of plugin devs never knew of the existence of those pages, but it's hard to miss something that is on your plugin's page. I believe that the participation in compatibility reporting is still going to be low, but I don't think it will be any worse than the low level of compatibility reporting that occurred on the Codex. Now... Can we please move on beyond this topic?
