By now, most of them do this automatically, but I still advocate against
doing this before the vimrc is loaded since it causes non-obvious
problems to users (and am annoyed that Ubuntu deviates from the way I've
setup Debian's packaging in this regard).
The reason this needs to be done is to for ftdetect scripts.
Without doing the equivalent of
:filetype off
" Setup plugin manager
" Re-run :filetype on, if needed
any ftdetect scripts located in the runtime paths handled by the plugin
manager wouldn't have their settings applied.
Now, in Neovim we've enable filetype plugins and indent scripts by
default. However, we also track whether they were enabled
automatically, or modified by the user, so that "filetype plugin on" in
the user's vimrc only enables plugins instead of acting like a no-op.
You can see the discussion of the behavior/implementation at
<https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/4223>.
