Your FAQ falsely claims that my plugin Stargate is "trying to use the ancient Permissions 2.x/3.x player permissions", this is completely and utterly false (I recommend you remove the dev who made that change, if they can't even understand basic plugin hooking code ;)).

Stargate will check for the Permissions plugin, and if it's not a bridge to a SuperPerms handler, it will use it. The ONLY exception to this is the case of the PEX bridge, which Stargate was required to use as PEX injects (Or injected, at the time of writing that portion of the plugin) a faulty hasPermission function into Bukkit.

As for saying my plugin is "incompatible", that is again a blatant lie, Stargate works with any PermHandler that is implemented properly.

And in response to the first question you will probably ask, Stargate still supports Permissions 2.x/3.x because I still have users that use those plugins, there are even a few users who are making their own builds for 1.1-R6/1.2.3, and that is their choice, the Permissions handling code doesn't break anything in my plugin, and adds no extra work for me.
