We agreed before that the

preferences is something we'll have to live with for a longer time. We'll
have to make a distinction between global stuff (plugins, global prefs)
and
those things which are better handled per patch, from inside patches.

Yes, I agree.  For things that affect the editor and not the patch
itself, then preferences makes more sense.

Having a list of plugins would be probably the best cross-platform solution.

However, it may be a good idea to have plugin sets, if one needs to start-up
in kiosk mode or something else at times :)

Perhaps the file with plugin list should supplied as an argument.

why not using ::pd-guiprefs for plugins:
