The fact of the matter is that:

You should test plugins on a clone of the site,
to test if the update will go through.

But I do realise that it doesn't work for most people if they think that the plugin isn't a major plugin that wraps around the entire website i.e. that if the plugin is deactivated that the site falls to smitherines.

It's good to know that there is a list of plugins that will be affected by the latest update, now that we're seeing more Hosting providers enable automatic WordPress core updates by default.

Not 100% sure that word would get around the world for all owners of the listed plugin.

But do know that many developers will get to work!

Kind regards,
