Screenshots showing this oscillating behaviour for versions that don't change:

I suspect maybe the reason is that the rules for plugin version changes in a Major increase (4 -> 5) are different from those in a Minor increase (5.0.0 -> 5.0.1). 

And yet we see the same red-then-yellow within the 7.0.0.x milestones.

> For many 3rd party plugins, which haven't changed in years, the report will often start white, then because no version bump happens will report red... and then magically drop to yellow for a few releases. Then red again, and then yellow.
> Surely if a version not increasing is bad it should STAY bad, rather than oscillating?
