 According to docs, wp core download --skip-content doesn't install default
 plugins.

 However, it doesn't also creates the wp-content/plugins/ sub-directory
 itself.

 The Problem: Some wordpress parts assume it exists, and fail when trying
 to deploy plugins or themes.

 For example:

  - Install wordpress importer will always fail in this situation, without
 a reason, and without an error log entry.
  - It's impossible to install new plugins or themese from via UI.

 Please create /plugins/ & /themes/ directories even if they're empty, when
 deploying any core format
