Okay, that makes sense 👍.

As long as those added plugins are not enabled by default, at least not for existing instances, all good. But regarding the gem dependency changes, and the multiple database migration failures we faced, I am somewhat worried that something might be invisibly broken or lost. Sadly the rebuild does zero log in these regards, just saying that `cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'` exited with error code, but no details, also not in logs 🤔.
