The popular Bypass Paywalls Clean add-on has been taken down, but without warning or explanation. It's as if it never existed:

It would be nice if AMO gave some nicer info like "Addon was recently taken down due to XYZ" or even the author's site/contact so we can find the real info. Cheers

This would also help users to decide whether they want to keep using the addon or not (if it's already installed).

Since only malicious addons are removed AND disabled on existing devices, for the rest of the cases - when the addon is "only" removed from the store, user doesn't know why so he can't tell whether it's safe to keep it on his PC.
