The idea is letting the users be able to find addons with some of their criteria, may it be download count, last patch updated, a time range since last update, e.g.
I would find this useful.

If addons were tagged via patch, it would be a lot easier for me, as a developer, to search for addons that are not updated to the current patch.

The best way, in my opinion, is not to have another input for the developer to fuss with: do a grep search or likewise on the .toc for the interface number. And this would also take away the need for manual toggle if it works with latest patch; it would give no false positives, either.

Now for the main problem.. How long would it take to write such a script to search the .toc file and run this function? I am not skilled enough in grep and website code to do such, so I dunno if this is a quick job, or a monster task.
