Rather: List of plugins loaded at runtime in the application, and only
warn if debugging is on.

I'd make that optional, per config or environment variable. Just loading
stuff off the net by default seems bad to me. Also, devs without
internet connection could get in trouble. IMO it also shouldn't update
itself, but rather just tell the user if there's a newer version.
