There are probably other distinctions as well, but my point was simply 
that they're useful for folks to know about, which is presumably why 
there were documented in the Release Notes where we all read about them.

We could invest our time in enumerating reasons not to document them, 
but it seems reasonable to expect that a function to let us know where 
the Plugins folder is would be provided.

I'm not all that particular about where things are documented, and we 
can continue to invent new places to store such things if there's a 
benefit in doing so.  I just think it would be helpful to have them 
documented in something other than a Release Note from many versions ago.
