I mentioned in the notes the issue surrounding extensions that have been
updated specifically for 68, leaving an older version for prior
Thunderbird versions.

Jonathan pointed out that the issue with the data I gathered shows
extensions lacking support for older versions.  This is because the main
entry for each extension only shows the latest compatibility, no
reference to prior versions.  In order to get all the version
compatibilities I will have to request for version data for every
extension and construct the compatibilities.  This process will be a bit
painful, however, I think we going to have too many of these scenarios
that we do not want confusing or incorrect data.

I am hoping there is perhaps an easier way to do this:  Any suggestions
welcome.

I will try for the next report, cannot promise.

If enough people view these reports is useful (assuming good data ;-) ,
I will be happy to continue and improve the reports.
