Lost featured badge following recent update

[leadleape...@gmail.com]

We recently published a simple update to our extension without any reported issues, but it appears that we have now lost our featured badge which we have held since the badge became available.   Any ideas why we would suddenly lose our badge?   We are not aware of any customer complaints.  Thanks!   Extension ID: iojojcfflmfcejodomoafimdiianbgfe

A similar situation here. The web extension ID is kfhgdgokgjmdboidlhphajinmgpcmmec. I’d like to understand the underlying reasons.

Two of my published extensions suddenly lost their Featured badge after recent update. Nothing special changed about extensions themselves nor their store pages, and I received no feedback about the badge removal. 

Extension IDs are: 

1. pemdbnndbdpbelmfcddaihdihdfmnadi
2. gmnkpkmmkhbgnljljcchnakehlkihhie

I’ve also just lost my featured badge, for jpkbdlhiihebdhobfmhagcjkdocnjdlo.

Oliver, any thoughts on this?

It seems strange that multiple developers are reporting featured badge removal all at the same time.

My latest extension update was purely internal refactoring. The extension user experience, permissions and listing didn’t change. I’ve had a featured badge for 2 years. It magically appeared without me self nominating, which was fab. Now it’s magically disappeared I’ll lose the search ranking boost, which is disappointing :-/

Any feedback appreciated.

My situation is exactly the same. Featured badge is lost without any reported issue, just after a new version published. 

I'd like to get informed if something goes wrong.

Thanks for bearing with us :)
