That was my thinking, sorry for the approximate usage of "deprecated".
This should be very useful to know until wich version an external is kwown to work and to have a simple classification like:
- working with last pd vanilla
- working with last pd extended
- others
I think that nobody really minds installing a newer version if you know the external you're looking for is working with it, but it's annoying when you have to use older ones.
After is the question of the OS but it's an important step to know it's working with your version.
We can also think of a "tag" if it's possible in wikis.

I think something like this in the status box would be useful:

Status:  deprecated (0.37.2)

or 

Status: abandoned (0.33)

If there is more info, then a section could easily be added in the text.
