Description Simon Kaegi CLA 2012-09-25 17:01:28 EDT 
At the moment we're using getPluginId to figure out install order. This is a poor idea as changes to the plugin registry can be distributed to the various machines you're using and we are not about to use something like a distributed mutex to ensure we get unique plugin ids. Instead we should use/track a "created" field. This is ultimately a detail that only the plugin registry should be using but nonetheless the implementation should be fixed.
