You broke the fact that we used to load in a specific order. You didn't
break the fact that we were loading site-wide plugins before user
plugins and skipping user plugins.

The supplied patch loads user plugins preferentially to site-wide
plugins, but doesn't do anything about specific plugin load order. (If
you have site "foo" and user "foo" you know user "foo" will be loaded,
but you don't know whether it will load before or after site "bar" or
site "baz")

So we need to discuss if we want to do anything about plugin ordering,
but as a first step, we would at least allow users to install a plugin
and have it supersede the site-wide one.
