+Plugins facilitate a strict separation of code through restricted classloaders. Plugins cannot access classes from other plugins or from Flink that have not been specifically whitelisted. This strict isolation allows plugins to contain conflicting versions of the same library without the need to relocate classes or to converge to common versions.

   I would split longer lines (like this) into multiple lines. Makes reading diffs, reviewing and resolving conflicts significantly easier.
