Even though a plug-in update should be checked, tested and harmless,
lots of corporations have a lot of processes in place regarding build
reproducability.  Doing a build with the updated v1.1 maven-foo-plugin
could cause the build to look ever so slightly different than the
build previously done with the orignial v1.0.  This could cause red
flags to go flying.  I'd think an easy flag for disabling automatic
plug-in updating is a must.
