If past experience is any indication, it is easier to find and fix
these things manually than to try and automate them with "helpful"
scripts that can't possibly be tested on every config file
everyone has manually modified in weird and wonderful ways :-).

Perhaps a script that printed a big warning saying Hey! Your
config file mentions the "cumsieve" plugin that is no longer
provided!, but didn't try to actually fix it itself would be
helpful.
