The plugin compatibilty beta shows all tags that exist. This is fine, but I think it should select the latest stable tag by default, not the newest that exists. I like to tag experimental versions and versions for translators, but for 99.9% of all visitors only the compatibility of the latest stable release is relevant.
(If 0.1 is stable and there is a 0.1.1 it will be displayed instead by default)
I think people assume the most recent version number is the stable one they should be using, since that is how WordPress itself works. The default should be the most recent on both menus for a consistent experience. Is something isn’t stable, maybe it doesn’t belong in the repo yet?
This is not quite the case. The readme.txt format allows the plugin author to say which is the stable tag and that is what is presented as the latest version for download.
That should be the default version in the dropdown

1. I have drafted a proposed structure for release announcements (as I promised in the last meeting)
2. If there are time slots left, I would like to see some feedback on the new Hello World post: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11008
