Comment (by foolswisdom):

 Replying to [comment:14 filosofo]:
 > In contrast to the single-user approach, for WordPress there is often an
 admin who installs WordPress and plugins and a separate author or authors
 who do the most day-to-day use.  It's the latter group I'm thinking of.

 That latter group would not have permissions to change them.

 > I agree with you that in the case of a plugin needing to be configured
 just once upon activation--such as entering the Akismet key--it makes
 sense to put it in the plugins menu.

 Plugins options are very likely to be set and forget (ie configured just
 once upon activation).

 It seems obvious to me that Plugins Options under Options is not elegant.
 I am happy for another suggestion, but the only one I can think of is
 putting them on the Plugins menu.
