  * Major rework of pluginutils
Finally, this patch contains a one-shot action plugin which will automatically convert a plugins directory from the old style disabled file to the new style.
I was just wondering if this plugin is really needed. Couldn't we just tell the wiki admins that the disabled plugins won't be disabled anymore and they have to go to the plugin manager in order to disable them again? Disabling plugins is not such a big matter as importing the old changelog or the old index was ... (Doing it on your own will take you 2 minutes, if at all, whereas no-one would have been able to manually import the changelog from the old to the new format.)
Note for darcs users, the new disabled format will mean a couple of old oneshot plugins, importoldchangelog and importoldindex, will have their directory names 
  changed, which could lead to darcs wanting to record the change.
This is really annoying. Does this mean that we (darcs users) will be asked if we want to record this for the next 200 years every time we need to record something else? Is there any way around this? (I don't know much about darcs, maybe there is on option for that?) 

Thanks,
Anika
