I noticed that a plugin’s client-side routes are loaded even if the plugin is disabled. Is this to be expected?

One still has access to the site settings via `this.site.siteSettings` and can load routes dynamically like this:

```js
export default function () {
  if (this.site.siteSettings['my_plugin_enabled']) {
    this.route('test');
  }
}

```

I wonder if plugin routes _should_ be loaded if a plugin is disabled. Shouldn’t they be unavailable?
