I believe you're actually on 5.1.23-prerelease. Which represents a several month period. Or at least that's what the release notes say.
For uploading, I'd be tempted to download an empty, open it in TD, load it with the plugins the way you're comfortable with, and then drag/drop them back into your main TW. It's up to you then to make updates whenever you update TD. Having your only alternative to edit a JSON file is ... sad. This puts up a barrier a lot of people won't be able to surmount. I *think* I know what I'm doing, yet I make mistakes all the time with JSON files. They're very unforgiving, one misplaced dangling comma and it's broken. And what is the gain? Avoiding conflict with plugins that almost never change anyways. Is it worth it?
