Or

Someone could just put the plug-in back because it's just so damn funny.

Well, I would think it's more user friendly to have a 404 telling the user
that plugin doesn't exist, with the plugin name they were looking for
already populating a search box perhaps?
/extend/plugins/foobar, would have 'foobar' already populating the search
box on the "404 - Plugin not found" page.

Just my 2 cents I guess :)
