Is there any benefit to this plugin when using Composer 2.x ?

I believe this plugin's aim is to guard against unintentional switching of the repository source.

Composer 2.0 uses canonical repository order by default - see https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/repository-priorities.md#canonical-repositories
this prevents unintentional switching of repositories.

Given the above and the implication of this plugin in issues like magento/magento2#34325 (comment) can someone please confirm if there is any benefit of this plugin above what Composer 2.0 does? If there is none I would propose to make this plugin a No-Op on Composer 2.0 (and subsequent removal once only Composer 2.0 is supported) and keeping the functionality when using Composer 1.0.

Hi @admanesachin @nathanjosiah we have the same question regarding this plugin. Is this still recommended to be used with composer 2? Thanks!
