Because I may not know *everything* that I want. Who knows what
proprietary plugin I need to use to discover CPUs, while I know that for
GPUs I can use cuda, but I don't want to use nvml.

No, because there is also the implicit "and the default plugins" after
that.

Because I know I want to avoid them. But I don't know which other ones
are loaded by default and should have.
