It's a good idea but we would still have to control the distribution of the third-party tools i.e. mirror our own known working copies. I do agree that the installer should give the user the possibility of turning off particular apps/plugins. As long as this doesn't overly complicate it. And it could ask the user any config questions needed for the bundled apps. (Although these should really be minimized...)
