[Qgis-developer] Featured plugins

[Andreas Neumann]

But why?

Most of the table manager functions are already in Core. It is perfectly 
possible to add and remove columns without the table manager.

If some of the table manager functions are still missing in core, it is 
better to bring the missing functionality into core, rather than 
enabling Table manager by default.

I am not a fan of having many Python plugins enabled by default, because 
they slow down the loading of QGIS. Also, Python plugins are a major 
source of additional bugs ...
