Of course.
Is there some default mechanism loading these things (for example, I
notice loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM is only in v312.pre),
and is it safe to remove the old ones?
All pre files are used. Nothing is automatically loaded. There are
multiple files, based on the release where the plugins that are loaded by
that file were in. This way, we can add new plugins and the new pre file
will get installed, and there's no issue with changing the old pre files
(where admins may have added their own config, commented things out, etc.)
So no, don't remove "old" pre files, because they're still being used and
important.
So then, what if, for example, nothing else had loaded
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM?
It wasn't in the other files, even in a commented out format?
Should there be a "Lint" of all the possible modules (and worst-case
scenario, I get an error if I try to load a module twice)
