right, thanks for clarifying.

Agreed, that's why I was calling for a common decision.
My suggestion is to disable by default those with a complex interface
(e.g. CAD Tools).
I suggest to do it for 2.4, at least for the three most popular:
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/openlayers_plugin/
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/tablemanager/
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/mmqgis/
In my experience, these are effectively hidden features for many QGIS users.
All the best.
