The whole point of having it being able to be installed to the user 
directory is that most users don't(shouldn't) have write permissions to 
the installation directory of a global install and so can't install 
plugins there.  It is still assumed that if one profile has a plugin 
installed than all profiles will want it.  The point of it is not to 
allow users to selectively disable plugins in different profiles.
