Sevn, I'm not really satisfied with this use case. From plugins, you're much more likely to monkeypatch ActionController::Base and much more less likely to monkeypacth ApplicationController. In fact, if plugin is monkeypatching ActionController::Base, it's a lot easier to override it in ApplicationController. But again, I might be missing a point here. So please feel free to correct me !
