  4. I wonder, @boogah is there a way for a developer to basically make the plugin null upon update so it has to be removed? For example an update results in a empty plugin that does nothing but update the description with a phrase like (Delete Me)


  5. @WPwatercooler Thanks for mentioning us in this episode! We’re excited to keep adding new features to help with this problem space, and we’ll take a look to see what we can do about tracking abandonment. Glad for any feedback/suggestions from your listeners!
