Comment (by matveb):

 I'm a bit confused about the outcome. I agree, at this late stage, the
 connector should not show up when the plugin is not present in the WP
 install, but it should be displayed when it is, even if it's not
 activated.

 It’s important to position connectors as not being exclusively for AI.
 Looking beyond, the connectors UI should show available connectors from
 any installed plugin, regardless of whether they are activated. Given
 Akismet is bundled by default, it should show up if the file is present
 for 7.0. It'd be odd to have the plugin present in plugins but not in
 connectors. For the next cycle, this should be formalized in plugin
 headers or some other broader mechanism.
