When the plugin authors will rewrite them, of course. You have to be patient.
the option only two,
wait for 1.8 release update
or... stick in your 1.6 :p
So changing:

"compatibility" => "16*"
to
"compatibility" => "18*"

Is not the solution?

For some plugins, it is because the relevant core code hasn't changed. However, for others, you'll need to make actual edits to the plugin itself to get it to work.

It is, but it may not always fully work.

Especially in these cases:
- if a plugin uses Prototype JS
- if a plugin loads another redundant jQuery instance
- if a plugin uses a hook that was changed in 1.8 (only several were)
- if a plugin tries to insert codes to heavily modified 1.8 templates (you can insert them manually though)
Changing that value is what will make the plugin list allow you to activate it, but whether it actually works properly or not after doing that will have to be looked at on a plugin-by-plugin basis.
if I force the plugin into an array like this: 

"compatibility" => "18*"

whether I will be notifying ACP if the creator of the plugin has to renew
