Remove whenplugin-izing


Make conditional

Libraries::add('my_application', array('default' => true

));

my_awesome_plugin/ config/ bootstrap.php routes.php anything_in_an_app/

Required

Optional

Unless youdisable it

Libraries::add('my_awesome_plugin', array( 'bootstrap' => false));

Happens in the filterwe saw in action.php
