On the other hand, I have my doubts that many people bother to read the changelog, anyway

And even if they do, Fixed potential XSS vulnerability is unlikely to mean anything to a lot of people.

These days I am using https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpscan/ which works quite well for plugins that are installed on the same site.

@joyously

There is this plugin to help you load exactly the version you prefer: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/

And this one to manage updates Easy Updates Manager – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org

Plugins to manage plugins. Can we now have a plugin to manage the plugin that manages the plugins?

Joking aside, this does put us in a bit of a quandary. The plugins suggested by @james and @joyously are all helpful in their own way but there will come a point when these too can no longer be updated - unless we can get them to support ClassicPress.
