| = Blocklisting Policy =
| |
| | |
| * Block add-ons & plugins:
| |
| ** with versions with known vulnerabilities or major user-facing issues
| |
| ** with version ranges with known vulnerabilities
| |
| ** with fatal bugs (client crashes on startup or something causing an endless loop of unusability)
| |
| | |
| * Don't block:
| |
| ** before we work with author/vendor to send out an update, so don't block the most recent version of a major addon/plugin
| |
| ** for minor bugs for non-popular addons/plugins (crashes on event calls, messed up UI, etc.)
| |
| ** if user has disabled compatibility checking and add-on causes problems/crashes
| |
| ** plugins that are pre-release, alpha or beta
