The code is disabled in the admin settings but would prefer to not waste any bits loading this plugin which we don’t plan to use.

Could not find any Discourse config parameter to disable this plugin from being loaded when the container is built (now we can only disable, but the plugin code is loaded).  
Ideally, for us, would be to have a config variable in the container build `YML` file which instructs the build to omit this plugin code (searched and did not find one).

Thanks
