Have an official location for system-wide user-installed plugins

Is it recommended to add plugins to /usr/lib/rbenv/plugins or will this be overwritten at some point? It may be helpful to mention this in the docs.

Right now it will not be overwritten. But you raise a good point: there should be an official location for system-wide user-installed plugin.

In my opinion, /usr/lib/rbenv/plugins should be reserved for OS-package-manager-provided rbenv plugins. User-installed plugins should be looked up from elsewhere; I think /usr/local/lib/rbenv/plugins is preferred.

Implementing this would require a change in fullstaq-rbenv. It's tracked by this issue: fullstaq-ruby/rbenv#2

Actually I double checked the behavior. Currently fullstaq-rbenv does not even look in /usr/lib/rbenv/plugins. Instead, it only looks in $HOME/.rbenv/plugins.

So right now, adding plugins to /usr/lib/rbenv/plugins has no effect.
