Comment (by SirLouen):

 Replying to [comment:21 desrosj]:
 > Right now the reasoning is a bit unclear. Does this change unblock
 something for the plugin? Is there actual A/B testing going on? Are these
 theoretical scenarios, or are users actually doing this?

 The original reasoning was to be able to inject your plugin without having
 to do shenanigans like using the same plugins slugs and parameters but
 adding version v1000 to avoid potential unexpected updates.

 As I said to @kraftbj, the use of this has declined massive, still there
 was a feature request for it in 2 months ago, though:
 https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/issues/59

 In this case, this patch could add the easier possibility for extenders to
 “fork” and use their plugins. Although extenders like the one in that
 ticket, have figured out alternative ways to extend it, BJ suggested that
 it was easier to do it this way.

 Maybe a micro `dev-note` is required, and we are good to go with this
 report. Pretty simplistic, as @davidbaumwald commented.
