What happens if a plugin that was written before Calibre 5 ends up no longer working on Calibre 4.23 because of no longer being Python 2 compatible? How will Calibre handle it?

As I see it now, Calibre 4.23 or earlier will pull up a notification that there is a new version, the new version will be installed and screw with the existing version.

Will Calibre be modified such that it will handle this issue and not show plugins that only work on Calibre 5 to Calibre 423 or earlier versions?
