IMHO no one would really trust the classifiers list for knowing the
plugin's compatibility. I normally take a look at the README (when I'm
lucky) and to the code (when I'm not lucky).

I agree that maybe the versioning doesn't make much sense and, in the
best of all the possible universes, it would be better to move the
current classifiers to something more linked to the purpose of the
package that you're publishing.
For example:

Framework :: Plone :: Theme
Framework :: Plone :: Plugin

But, truth be told, I don't know how much work would this take and if
this is doable by the Plone community or it has to be done by the pypi
maintainers.

I asked to some colleague of mine and, even though everybody uses them
in the packages, no one ever really used those classifiers for searching
packages or whatever.

So.././much effort for a low gain

My 2c
