Are you sure about this? Because my sandboxed app seems to be able to load plugins from the root library application support folder without difficulty. In addition, I can't see how it breaches the sandbox to load plugins from anywhere - no files are being modified (just code loaded from the plugin), and the plugin is subject to my application's sandbox privileges (and thus unable to do anything bad). Surely, therefore, an application should be able to load a plugin from anywhere?
