> IRC discussion about it:
> {code}
> [09:29:39]  <@bcall>	why do we want plugins to register?
> [09:30:06]  <@jpeach>	afaik historically it's always been a requirement
> [09:30:30]  <@bcall>	I don't think so
> [09:30:33]  <@jpeach>	imho there should be a way for  plugin to fail at startup
> [09:30:53]  <@jpeach>	if register does nothing useful then we should just remove it
> [09:31:46]  <@bcall>	it was used for API version checking from what I remember
> [09:31:52]  <@jpeach>	but registration creates internal info that could be used for something interesting
> [09:31:54]  <@bcall>	and I never did it in my plugins
> [09:32:18]  <@sudheerv>	fwiw, i think i didn't either ;)
> [09:32:52]  <@jpeach>	heh
> [09:32:54]  <@bcall>	it is helpful for 3rd party plugins - vender, email, etc
> [09:33:13]  <@bcall>	and api version checking
> [09:33:14]  <@jpeach>	that information never goes anywhere
> [09:33:20]  <@bcall>	I can see the merit of the version checking
> [09:33:21]  <@jpeach>	the version checking does nothing
> [09:33:28]  <@bcall>	even better :)
> [09:33:40]  <@jpeach>	sounds like you should nuke it for 6.0
> [09:34:09]  <@bcall>	I will file a bug
