 * WARNING: Spam plugin.
 * I found this plugin installed on my site without my permission.
 * I use Gutenberg a fair amount and had never even heard of this plugin until I
   saw it that popped up in my editor.
 * I couldn’t figure out how it got there and only eventually got a message under
   the settings for Redux that said
 * “Did I install this?”
 * “Maybe not! These items are using Redux. If you want to keep using them, Redux
   will need to remain installed and activated.”
 * So basically, I had the WP Mail Logging plugin installed and it installed this
   plugin on my site without my permission.
 * Surely this type of behaviour cannot be allowed.
 * This plugin shows 1 million active installs – I wonder how many of those are 
   without consent.
 * WP should ban plugins that engage in this type of behaviour.

 * The issue was with WP Mail Logging’s implementation of Redux. They were doing
   it incorrectly. I personally fixed it for them. It will no longer be an issue.
   I don’t see the reason to give us one star, however. It’s not our fault.
