I'm in the process of taking care of this.

/products now has an option of "Plone 4.x" for the version. This is the 
default query, and it will include products tagged as compatible with 
Plone 4, Plone 4.1, Plone 4.2, or Plone 4.3 (which I added as an 
available option). (If you don't see this yet, it's cached and should be 
there soon.)

I am working on adding the 'Plone 4.3' compatibility tag to all existing 
releases that are tagged as compatible with 4.2 and mention 4.3 
compatibility in their long_description, or that I have personally used 
on 4.3.

Product developers, if your package is 4.3 compatible and *doesn't* 
mention that in the long_description, please update your release 
metadata on plone.org. Keep in mind that /products is cached (for an 
hour, IIRC?) so the change may take a bit to appear.

I'm also willing to update the tags for other packages if you tell me 
ones that you can confirm are compatible with 4.3.

best,
David
