IIRC it's the reverse: The later definition is ignored. I know it can be
useful to "overwrite" plugins during development, but I think it's always a
"quirk", if it happens on an end user's system.
(If you think there is a valid use-case, we can certainly find a way to
suppress the warning; e.g. by adding a new attribute override="true" to make a
later definition override an earlier one, without a warning).

The key idea behind the "quirky" flag is that a user may want to continue
using a plugin map that is known to produce warnings. In this case, if the map
is already known to be quirky, the user won't see the same warning on each
start of RKWard. So, clearing the flag each start of RKWard would actually
result in more nagging, not less.
Not sure about your suggestion a), but I'm ignoring it for now, as it does not
really cover the case at hand, either: It's the disabling the *other*
pluginmap that makes the pluginmap in question evaluate cleanly, here.
Currently, the status flags ("quirky" and "completely broken") are cleared
- when the version of RKWard has changed since last session (to cover the use-
case that errors were produced due to a version mismatch)
- when the timestamp of the pluginmap file has changed
Obviously it also makes a lot of sense to clear the flag, when a pluginmap has
just been loaded without problems, and so I've committed that, a minute ago.
