As far as I know this feature is planned for the next releases.

But I think the main problem is: it's not obvious that just by installing a plugin, even without enabling the plugin in Fuel user could break or somehow alter already existing environments. It could be done by malicious attacker who could compromise plugin or just unintentionally with some bug in the plugin code.

Unfortunately, by installing some plugin a user jeopardizes his existing environments. And I think we should at least document these risks.

My two cents. It would be useful to have a role that could execute on the Fuel Master host itself rather than a container.

    Alexey,

    thank you for bringing this up. IMO discussing security problems
    is better to be done in a special kind of Launchpad bugs.
