Bundling more popular plugins with Discourse core

I didn’t receive this prompt. But I followed the error log and removed the lines. Rebuilding again now.

Edit: Other than introducing breakage and 20 mins offline, if these plugins lines are not removed prior to upgrading; Why do we really need this added bloat of preinstalled plugins?

I’m curious about the bigger picture. What is the reasoning for bundling these plugins by default?

Personally, it feels a bit like the direction Windows, mobile OSes, and some software have taken adding more preinstalled components by default (BLOAT) which many of us generally try to avoid. :warning:

I’m sure this change was probably discussed with the community before being implemented. If so, no need for a repetitive reply, just include a link to the relevant discussion or announcement so I can read how and why this decision was made.

Thanks guys!
