    In fact, they are not merged simply as they are. The launchtaskbar
plugin was created by one of developers and its functionality included
most of parts of launchbar and taskbar plugins. Since it is inefficient
to have the same code in two different plugins and fix all the bugs in
both at the same time, it was decided to use the same code for all the
plugins instead. Yes, it seems a bit weird if you think it is just two
plugins merged, but in reality it is three plugins, one of them is that
plugin (launchtaskbar) and two others (launchbar and taskbar) are just
emulated by it. It is not merge at all, that's it. :)
