Comment:

 It was a suggestion for REST-API and plugin management via admin.

 Simple logic (to me) was that although execution is deferred, many plugins
 do a non-trivial amounts of processing on early hooks and even upon
 `__construct`. Mitigating that would add speed to a site, and lower
 resource consumption as it seems quite high.

 This could benefit users across the board including the smallest shared
 hosting users right up to sites with a lot of spot traffic, or high
 overall traffic because there would simply be more resources to go around
 by lowering how much of the resources are needed per-request.

 I have since looked at the source code. I now feel this may not be
 possible or practical the way this issue originally outlines.

 I Still feel conditionally loading plugins is a great idea if deliberate;
 but the framework for doing so probably cannot be a core concern, simply
 because of the startup process (looks like plugins come in-use very early
 and are included in `wp-settings.php`).

 Closing.
