OK, I've (temporarily) removed the warning message, via the plone.org
custom folder.

If someone wants to volunteer to submit a fix on
Products.PloneSoftwareCenter that checks whether the product is marked
as compatible with the last (major) Plone release, rather than simply
looking at dates, then please do so and we can deploy it.  If nobody
does this within about two weeks, I will delete or comment out the
warning message in Github.
