Considering that this request came from one of the third party 
repository users I wouldnt be quick to dismiss that. If the plugin is in 
FC and the repository maintainers add the information to disable it for 
their users instead of disabling it through RPM then it could 
potentially help users make a more informed decision on letting 
repositories replace packages.
