Amy other plugins - currently core or not - which should also be migrated to core and stop being plugins at all? Or just Processing and DB Manager? I can't think of any. Tom - Buy Pie Spy: Adventures in British pastry 2010-11 on Amazon -- View this message in context:

Hi all, just a reminder that we have a --noplugins startup option that will deactivate plugins for testing purpose. What would be then the intended behaviour with core python plugins like processing? On my side, I would keep an option to do that, and if possible not rename it. So this is an

Nyall, I agree on your approach. Not all core plugins are the same. I guess I didn't want to say "Hey, Processing has to be always enabled!" :-) But yes, Processing is a particular case of a plugin, since other plugins depend on it, and now it replaces ftools, so maybe it makes sense to keep it

Hi, Before we remove the ability to have C++ plugins, or the ability to enable/disable them, we should first inform our users and developers and ask them if we are fine with what we propose. There may be usages of QGIS out there that rely on the ability to have C++ plugins that we are not
