Description
See this dev list thread:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2018-June/053615.html
We currently do not have a way to show alternative plugins to a user which is searching for a (by us) deprecated plugin.
Average users will never see the deprecated plugins, because by default they are hidden.
My request is to remove the checkbox, and just always show deprecated, plugins, thereby give us a way to show alternative pluygins (preferably clickable...) in the description of the deprecated plugin.
Deprecated plugins could maybe show half transparent or so? To clearly show that this is a deprecated plugin?

Sounds like a feature, so give me the two weeks until master is defrosted ;)
I'm not sure if mixing text styles is a good idea. Maybe a very distinct red banner in the plugin details plus an additional confirmation dialog will be enough?

I made a warning icon instead of the half-transparent style.
Showing the alternative plugins would require changes in the repository to expose it in the metadata response and I'm afraid we lack some manpower here... Although as soon as the new tag is added to the metadata, it's easy to put it (as a clickable link) to the manager.
