Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records TearSnow WFW CommentAPI Cleaner version 1.0.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin is intended for site owners who want to remove deprecated WFW Comment API metadata from WordPress feeds. It is not required for normal RSS functionality and may affect legacy RSS readers that use WFW comment extensions.
TearSnow WFW CommentAPI Cleaner removes the deprecated WFW (Well Formed Web) Comment API namespace from WordPress RSS feeds.
Older WordPress versions included the following XML namespace:
org/CommentAPI/"
The original Well Formed Web Comment API service is no longer maintained, and the domain is no longer controlled by the original owner. Keeping references to an abandoned external domain may expose users to unintended third-party content.
This plugin removes the deprecated WFW namespace and related feed elements without modifying WordPress core files.
Features
Removes deprecated WFW Comment API namespace from RSS 2.0 feeds.
Removes unused WFW comment RSS elements.
