This is a tough challenge.

For v7 I've made a separate copy of my Plugins folder, and thankfully 
the team had for foresight to maintain a separate Prefs file, so that 
works for now.

For the long term, should plugin settings be stored separately from the 
plugin itself, so that the plugin isn't modified?

This raises many question. Desirable, but not simple.
