Comment 4 for bug 81393

I would recommend moving the file to plugins/DISABLED rather than plugins/.disabled.

It isn't a big thing, but you don't really need to hide them, just move them 1 level deeper. To me, all caps makes it just as obvious that it is a special directory, and means that people can find it (it isn't hidden by default).

This is starting to sound a lot like 'apt for plugins'. And I think keeping in mind that we are looking for a remote registry which contains references we can update from, means that we can create something that does more than just update plugins.

In a sense, Launchpad is meant to/should be designed to do a lot of that. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to have support for 3rd party registries.
