Re: Plasma LeakGuard 💧

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Right now I don't have any memory leak, but any add-on can leak memory into
the plasmashell process.

So when there is going to be a leak cannot be controlled in reality. Even
if you want to fix it, the consequences of not having a safeguard is a
critical system failure.

Anyway I will contact them. Thanks 👍
