It's loaded for files of C filetype. You can disable the use of
filetype plugins by adding the following to your vimrc:

filetype plugin off

If you wish to use filetype plugins but override some of their settings,
use the after-directory. For example with the C filetype, create
'~/.vim/after/ftplugin/c.vim' which contains the following:

setlocal fo-=cr
