the only thing that code in Kate does is: Set the default value for the 
"shall plugin be loaded"
to true for the plugins in the hard-coded plugin list.

The user can overwrite that globally/session-wise like he wants.

If a new plugin is added + added to the defaults it will show up for the 
user until he deactivates
it again.

But if it is already configured, that will not be altered.
