It seems like STS did merge their entries to a single one ( http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/spring-tool-suite-sts-eclipse ), and they now rank #3 on MarketPlace.
Since we have (or can have) our own usage statistics, I believe we can ignore the problem. About the tags and description for each version, we can maybe just make a vague description that contains some history, such as
{quote}
JBoss Tools 4.2.3.Final is an umbrella project for a set of Eclipse Luna plugins that includes support for JBoss and related technologies, such as Hibernate, JBoss AS, CDI, Aerogear Hybrid Mobile, Apache Cordova, FeedHenry, JSF, (X)HTML, Seam, Maven, and more.

This entry has the majority of JBoss Tools but does not include features that requires dependencies outside of what is common from Eclipse JEE and m2eclipse.

New in 4.3.0 (Mars): ....
New in 4.2.1 (Luna): ...
New in 4.2.0 (Luna): ...

Overall, I believe the gain in usability and visibility is much more interesting than the few drawbacks listed here.
