May I ask if you know the purpose of that plugin? And why it is coded into
a plugin?

Why do you assume the plugin is sticking their tentacles through the main
code base?

What changes are merged into the main program?

How can you run different plugins with the same name on a same system ?

Indeed plugin names are unique, specially these that are released together
with SM (for an evident reason). This doesn't mean that an isolated coder
decide to code a plugin with a name that is already in use, but in that
case I suppose that when the coder decide to release the plugin into our
site he will change the name (for evident reasons too).
