 Thanks for the discussions!

 core philosophy of "designing for the majority,"

 There’s no data on this point. I’d imagine organisation/business sites are
 actually the majority.

 My original proposal was somewhat different from the one described by
 @westonruter in that I was arguing for a centralised place for the team
 managing a site to bookmark inactive plugins. It was made in reaction to
 the following Site Health warning:

 > Inactive plugins are tempting targets for attackers. If you are not
 going to use a plugin, you should consider removing it.

 If, in default of newer workarounds, the decision is to recommend
 installing but not activating such plugins. Then, one could probably
 revise the warning to say instead that if inactive plugins are
 intentionally kept, they should still be updated to receive security
 patches?
