 @khag7

 Thanks for pointing out #18974. We need to look at the HTML of this page
 carefully and clean it up.

 Ultimately much of this will be replaced by the code we are developing in
 https://github.com/obenland/shiny-updates - it would be great to have your
 contributions there. We already switched from embedding all the plugin
 data in the html, instead passing it to the JS directly, I think we only
 keep the unique plugin name, and use that data element for the lookup.

 No telling exactly if/when the plugin will get merged into core, so in the
 mean time I think its worth getting your patches into core to fix the
 issue for everyone running the current version.
