VaM 1.x Creators, please stop releasing scenes with Life.13

Life.13 had a bug where pose morphs were stored in appearance presets. Life.14 fixed this. As I noted in this thread, there is also a problem with duplicate morphs that can make people look funny. Having both Life.13 and Life.14 installed causes a problem. As long as people keep releasing new scenes with Life.13, and people click Download All, they will have this problem. The solution is for all scene creators to check the plugins they use and make sure the ones they are using are the latest ones, granted some exceptions.

The best technique is the one @RunRudolf uses where the morphs are kept separate from the plugin, and the plugin can just use the latest version so there's no such problem. We can't expect all plugin creators to rewrite everything to follow this example, but it is a good example of how it should be done.

I'm gonna check if we could "depreciate" Life 13, or at least prevent download.

That would be good. At least then, Package Builder should flag it as not available. There's still a problem with existing scenes that call Life.13. They might lose the hub-hosted flag, and the old plugin will keep showing up in the missing dependencies list.
