This is a very helpful plugin to remind admins not to update customized plugins. It works as expected.

I've been using this plugin for a couple of weeks and it has been great. I especially love that I can leave a note to go along with each plugin that I tag as customized. There I can summarize the customization that I've done. I don't often customize plugin files, but sometimes it's the only way. When go to update plugins in the future, I know I'll be very happy that I left myself some notes about what changes I made.
