Someone just said *not* to use protect and priority together.

Red Hat has a propensity to remove any documentation on a package that
does not have a man page. Sometimes it's included in /usr/share/doc and
sometimes in /usr/lib and sometimes it's just not there. There is,
hopefully *some* documentation on plugins other than how to write one. I
would like to know *what* plugins actually *do*.
