David Smiley commented on SOLR-18079:
-------------------------------------

This is an important capability/idea that I think deserves peer review before 
we expose a Solr implementation detail to a user.  And/or we document what Eric 
proposes as experimental -- something that works but is subject to change (and 
we'd say so in upgrade notes if we do).

[~janhoy], I recall you expressing thoughts on this somewhere (Slack?... 
dunno).  I recall your idea was a way to say that a configset was "complete" (a 
boolean), implying ImplicitPlugins.json isn't loaded?  I basically like that 
idea.  I certainly like it a lot better than exposing ImplicitPlugins.json to 
users -- something I've thought of as an internal implementation detail.

A related consideration is... what does "complete" even mean?  There are *tons* 
of plugins of many types, and ImplicitPlugins.json only has handlers... though 
as I look at it, it seems maybe it'd support adding additional plugins but 
certainly would *not* block/exclude any of Solr's massive query parser list, 
value source list, etc. from being registered.

A related idea I've wanted is the ability for a configset to inherit from 
another configset -- SOLR-17816.  Depending on how that might be implemented... 
one could designate a location that is the "default"/master configSet that 
would be "complete".  If you want to remove what you don't use, go edit it.
