Hi Bob, Jetpack is definitely on the list of plugins offered here or I wouldn't have been able to download it. It is compatible with the latest wordpress install which isn't surprising as it's developed by the same people. I had inital problems when I activated the Brute Force protection in that it did lock me out of my site (my fault - forgot my password! and I no longer use that function) but I find it immensely helpful in many ways, not least because it has extra widgets which cuts down the total number of plugins I need, and I like the instantly available stats. It doesn't slow down my site (according to P3 plugin check it takes less load time than All In One SEO) and if it weren't available here I think I would move to another platform as, coming from Wordpress.com originally, it's what I cut my teeth on. I guess we all have our likes and dislikes but to ban it would seem a bit extreme.

Jetpack is certainly on the list of plugins offered through the wordpress.org site. As far as it being disallowed here at WA, you'd need to discuss that with Kyle or carson.
