I suppose you are right again... We could perhaps have a separate zip of favorite plugins/skins that could be extracted to an empty farm folder if desired, (which would be setup with the default install automatically). This would accomplish the same effect. No special status for it, just another optional download, in the solutions area. Or perhaps several optional bundles. That would simplify things all the way around.
