 Replying to [comment:9 SirLouen]:

 > You can always leave them not activated (I've done this always), it
 poses a minor security risk if the plugin is poorly developed and it has
 callable files, so you need to keep them update as any other plugin.

 Yeah, makes sense to me. If most users are doing this (I did too) and
 choose to accept the risk rather than try to address it, any proposal to
 address the risk is by definition niche.

 The only thing I’d add to this is that poorly developed plugins remain a
 risk even when kept up to date, so the attack vector depends not so much
 on the number of inactive vs active plugins (up to date or not) as on
 their attention to security.
