 We've had a rather unpleasent incident where we used a certain plugin name
 for a private plugin, but then another plugin appeared under the same name
 in the theme directory, marking our plugin for an update. Rest assured
 ''someone'' clicked on the update button, replacing our plugin with some
 other.

 Such conflicts may seem rare, but they do happen. Adding an optional,
 defaults to false, `private` field to the theme header (like npm/Bower) to
 disable update checking for such a plugin would be an easy fix.
