Volumio 3 RC1 - Open Beta Testing

I responded in the Volumio3 Plugins store issues and discussion thread before seeing this, and I thought I could perhaps seek some clarification here.

Basically I updated the YouTube2 plugin to version 0.1.7 yesterday and I can already see it in the Volumio 3 plugin store, but the corresponding PR was never merged even for the first submitted version (0.1.4). So what I wanted to know is, would this not allow for the “good code in one place, bad code in another” situation?
