For what it's worth, if a plugin relies on some system executable to be found in $PATH and system maintenance results in an executable of the same name appearing elsewhere, the plugin is *just as likely* to break, *especially* with executables like "uptime" that aim to have *human readable* output. Heck, I'ld expect that to break when you touch $LANG, much less $PATH or $HOME/bin. Hardcoded pathes for some executable appear all over the place, from /etc/shells to scripts using /bin/true and /bin/ls to prevent falling for users' aliases to checking beforehand whether the executable *is even available* (a la "test -x"). The rationale for using them usually boils down to "it'll break *less often* than the alternatives".
