I guess this resurfaces the last discussion from the Australian plugin. I don’t see any mention of no binaries allowed in the above page. I think we should make the rules of the road clear(er) to developers so that they can understand how to be a ‘good citizen’.

I wonder if in the plugin manager we could not add some ’supported platforms’ flags that can indicate which platforms a plugin will run on (though I agree we should strongly encourage cross platform plugins).
