I haven't checked if what you say is true (setting a STOP action, and then the rest of the plugins are not executed), but I guess it is, since you seem to have tested this.

My proposal: nstead of having just a STOP action, GT could add one more action that executes all the other plugin PRE hooks, but does not execute the coderef passed in.

BTW: in the pod for GT/Plugins/Installer.pm it says something about a position, FIRST or LAST. Does anybody know if this is implemented (I didn't find reference to this anywhere else)?
