So I've looked into that, but I haven't seen how to disable the plugin
manager. I've talked to a JOSM developper during State of the Map
France, and he told me every plugin was free software, and if not, it
should be considered a bug, and the plugin will be removed. I think
this is close to the spirit of the FSDG, so we might not have to
disable the manager. WDYT?

I agree it would be nicer to bootstrap plugins properly ourselves, but
at least we won't advertise for non free plugins. I'll try to update to
a newer version before pushing, unless you have more objections.
