Given the recent wave of core plugins, where root users have needed to either comment out or remove lines of their `app.yml`
if a core plugin were to no longer be a core plugin, how would the user know to add / uncomment the lines? would their be an admin UI notice for any plugin in core to move out of core?

Interesting question. In my time of using discourse. I don’t recall any plugins that waa merged with core being removed from core at a later date
However imagine similar to announcement of them being merged; there would be one to announce it being removed and how to re add it if needed.

Interesting reply. However, without sophisticated scanning of the database for “plugin requirement”, there would be no “HINT” that many users relied on during the failed rebuild processes

We are not planning to reverse our decision so you don’t need to worry about this.

The only issue I had once was missing that Chat plugin was merged with core. So the rebuild failed due to trying to install the Chat plugin. Once a plugin is merged with core it shouldn’t cause a rebuild issue. Any issue after the Merge should be either a new plugin failure or attempting to install a core plugin(twice).
