Installing this in plugins (as a \"normal\" plugin) instead of in mu-plugins (as a must-use plugin) makes it possible for an admin user to accidentally disable it.\r\n\r\nIf you add it to the WordPress plugins directory then:\r\n\r\n1. It makes it much easier for people to install - the vast majority of WordPress users don't use Composer\r\n2. Any security updates you make for this will be automatically highlighted to users\r\n\r\nSurely the point of this plugin is to help all WordPress users improve their security? The risk that some admins will disable the plugin (which would be odd when it's likely that they would have been the ones to install it), seems relatively smaller than the benefits.\r\n\r\nPerhaps there's some other restrictions on the WordPress plugins directory that I don't know about."}}
