No, if a plugin is deselected (either by default or manually) this
plugin must not be loaded, no matter what (the code that tries to load
plugins needs to be able to handle that case). 

That being said, PluginController API that provides plugins (as
extension, IPlugin instance or lists thereof) must not provide plugins
that are disabled. I thought there was a check in loadPlugin to verify
that the plugin to be loaded is enabled, but maybe I was wrong. Either
that or the logic in initialize does have a flaw somewhere.
