This is a follow up of the bug #173054.
When I add then remove an extension using the extension tab from the plugin editor, I would like the editor to no longer to marked dirty.

Hi Pascal,

I think doing the (1) Add; (2) Remove; (3) Undirty will be very difficult to get right.  Even the JDT editor does not do this yet (e.g. Type 'a', then delete 'a', editor still dirty).

Would it be okay if we focused on the following instead?
(1) Add; (2) Undo; (3) Undirty
The JDT editor does this.

Mike, you're right on that.  No editor (in JDT or on earth) does remove the dirty state by simply removing characters/nodes.  Only upon undo.  So if we have an Undo bug about that, we should resolve this as dup.
