Shouldn't the primary concern in writing a plugin be accuracy? For example, a couple of my plugins scan web directories looking for particular versions of software. Once found, KB entries are added and the plugins exit. I've been bothered by the fact this misses any subsequent installs that might exist in alternate directories and have been pondering scanning all directories and coping with multiple installs even though I expect few targets to have two or more instances. In my mind, this seems like a good thing even though it will of course increase scan times. Doesn't this seem like a good tradeoff to make?
