But I'm not going to pull it down, the code will remain (the repo will be archived) and people using older versions of calibre can still search for and find the plugins.

I've always said that I want to see any bug reproduced in the latest calibre if you're not already there, and that's not going to change. What that will mean for people on older versions of calibre is that if you still see the bug in the latest calibre I'll direct you to file a bug against calibre instead (and use the newest calibre to get the fix), and if you don't see the bug in the latest calibre your fix is to upgrade calibre. The exception will be that if you find a security issue I'll fix that whether or not it's in the latest calibre. Otherwise, it's highly unlikely these plugins will see any more updates.
What will happen to those on a MAC who cannot upgrade?

I'm not bothered about Windows users on an older Windows. It's their choice to not upgrading to Windows 10 and be stuck with an older calibre. Linux is the same. No reason not to be able to run the latest calibre.
