By the way what are the chances that those people that are currently maintaining platform VMs will actually be building new VM's? Is there a schedule or process, or just random recompilation? (I'm not asking that a new vm be created since we have more plug-ins to contribute yet, I was just wondering)
It's pretty random depending on whether time allows playing around with stuff or not. Like, for me, I'm currently facing this stupid cc1 crash when I try to compile a VM and downgrading to a previous version to figure out what exactly went wrong where has proven to be an extraordinary pain in the rear end.
If you want to update your plugin(s) on your own, you should get a build environment set up and build them externally (so people can use them as drop-in replacement).
