I saw that, but it wasn't clear to me that that addressed item #13
because I apparently misunderstood item #13. I thought the idea was
for the PM to determine which plugins the user actually made use of,
that is, executed some part of their contents. Instead, "used"
meant "sourced".

I'm sure I have a number of plugins that I always source but never
actually "use".
