## Description

There’s not much to this plugin. It’s a couple barebones filters that turn off the
plugin and theme autoupdate emails.

On WordPress 5.5.0, plugin/theme autoupdate emails are turned off regardless of 
whether or not they failed.

Since WordPress 5.5.1, emails indicating update failures are allowed through.

This is a bad mistake. Anyone who knows WP updates knows they cannot auto run via
some community supported plugin. There are hosts offering this with a good setup.
This plugin removes one part of this the emails, which is great. But if it could
also turn this off entirely it would be just perfect.

This is the sort of plugin that I love: It just works and couldn’t possibly be simpler!
This plugin will help out until bug request 50988 has been completed. Thank you 
to the author!
