#1344: Do not promote add-on products for deprecated unsupported versions of Plone

 Put another way: '''promote or highlight add-on products for supported
 versions of Plone''' :)

 Cross reference #1342,

 > Re-iterate and clarify the support policy for major versions of Plone

 and #1271,

 > http://plone.org/products search by plone version gone and dropdown
 doesn't update page

 Examples:

  *
 http://plone.org/search?path=%2Fplone.org%2Fproducts&portal_type=PSCProject&SearchableText=kubrick
 presents

   — products for versions of Plone that are long unsupported

   — it's only coincidence that their descriptions express a version of
 Plone

   — nothing for supported versions of Plone.

  *
 http://plone.org/search?path=%2Fplone.org%2Fproducts&portal_type=PSCProject&SearchableText=board
 presents a variety of products

   — no indication of the versions of Plone that they target

   — to the untrained eye it appears that all products were updated within
 the past six weeks

   — people ''in the know'' about the plone.org upgrade will understand why
 the dates may mislead, but we can't expect newcomers to guess such things

   — five of nine products are for 2.1.2 or earlier, which is
 '''certainly''' unsupported

   — two of nine products are for 2.5.2 or earlier, which is debatably
 unsupported

   — in other words, only two of nine should be promoted.

 Should we have an archive area for add-on products that target only
 deprecated versions of Plone?

 I wonder.

Comment (by grahamperrin):

 OK, I smelt a duplicate as I was writing this, searched but could not find
 what I wanted in this Trac, the penny just dropped:

  * http://plone.org/products/plonesoftwarecenter/issues/78 in the ''Plone
 Software Center'' area

   — not exactly a duplicate, but enough to remind me of
 http://n2.nabble.com/-td2105341.html
