Matt Glaman: Lenient Composer Plugin officially replaces lenient packages endpoint

Well, it’s official. My Drupal Lenient Composer Plugin has allowed the lenient Composer repository endpoint on Drupal.org to be sunset and removed. I created the mglaman/composer-drupal-lenient repository two years ago at DrupalCon Portland. It is pretty wild how much it has been adopted in just two years. Not only has it allowed the Drupal Association to dismantle some infrastructure, but it is also baked into the Drupal.org GitLab CI. The package is pushing over 3,000,000 downloads from Packagist!
