Couldn't this work together with conf/plugins.required.php?
While looking at that I noticed they are different, but shouldn't.
What both have in common: acl, plugin (which should be changed to 'extension' in this PR, and 'plugin' should be deleted from this file eventually and 'extension' added), config, usermanager, revert
What only this file has: info (does that make sense?), template:dokuwiki (obviously, that makes sense)
