Comment 2 for bug 834449

Thanks Salvatore. I have tested this and can confirm that the plugin is loaded only once after your fix. However, I did notice that the extensions are getting loaded now (might not necessarily be a side effect of your fix) even when the configured plugin is not supporting them. Just want to make sure that this is indeed the expected behavior.

I would have ideally expected the loading of a particular plugin to drive the loading of the extensions it supports (since without the support from the plugin, the loading of the extensions does not have too much meaning). If you agree with this line of reasoning, an enhancement bug can be created for the extension framework (I can create it).
