Ok. As long as I can do that (and as long as it's not named -WTKS- :P),
I'm fine (since I'm basically not affected). And assuming that the

And as long as nothing is ripped until it actually works :)

For PLs, usually I do. Then I activate them as they are needed. For
contribs, no, I usually stick tsearch2 in there, but not many other
contribs.
