Release cadence

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    A very simple and elegant solution to the problem. I’ve tried other ways to stop the feed, but this is so much better. Excellent.

    Most WordPress users don’t need feeds and this plugin perfectly disables them. Feeds eat your Google crawling budget and website scrapers can also use feeds to get our content, it is better to avoid it.
