The URL though says "advanced-custom-fields"; Matt...I can't find the words to comment; I just shake my head -_-

If you look at the reviews, they took over the advanced-custom-fields plugin and modified the owner to be Wordpress.org and renamed it to Secure Custom Fields.

What a terrible look

They also modified it by ripping out the pro features, so if people update their ACF Plugin and they had pro features enabled, it'll just break their install

So they forked some open source software and "hacked it up" to remove notices from the original creators? Fascinating.

Yup, removing post revisions which I think is single line change is hacking it up when WP Engine does it, but this is totally okay apparently.
