What good resources are there for learning how to effectively write a WordPress plugin that ages well?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

That's enough with WordPress anyway, as WordPress hardly maintains ANY backwards compatibility with regards to security & bugs, so people have to upgrade to not get hacked anyway.
What you should be doing anyway is using Subversion, either your own or the one provided by WordPress if you host your plugin open source with them, so people on previous versions can easily get older versions of your plugin.
Other than that, good places to ask about things like this would be either the WordPress support forums or the WordPress irc channel on irc.freenode.net.
