Re: [External] : verification of plugin with update center

[Jiří Kovalský <ji...@oracle.com>]

Just to clarify, this has been addressed and resolved to Ernie's 
satisfaction.

As a general rule, if a plugin installs its own update center, which is 
then not removed when such a plugin is uninstalled, this is not a reason 
for the plugin to be rejected due to the issue that Ernie referred to.
