I would not know. I am only pointing out a logical error in the code. When you
discover that a plugin has been removed, it never makes sense to remove the
features of that plugin, since those features can't have been registered in the
first place. (since the plugin is gone)

It is like discovering that your pregnant dog has ran of, and then go on to
advertise its puppies for sale... :)
