Re: Replacing one plugin with another

I can see a couple of different approaches using the pre/post
functionality.

One would be to have a pre function in plugin Z that disables plugin X
and Y (if author same as plugin Z).

An alternative would be for Z to have a callable function ... and then
modify plugin X and Y to call it in their initPlugin to ask if they
should continue.
This approach would require the end-user to update (or remove) the X and
Y plugin but might make it easier to revert in the event of a problem in
my new plugin Z (for example if I had missed something in porting the
functionality from X and Y to Z.
