Continuing the discussion from Some nodes not showing in 'Manage palette' :
I stumbled - once again - over the fact that a plugin without nodes isn't shown in the Palette Manager; thus, despite the plugin can be installed , it can neither be updated nor removed via this mean.
Would you accept a PR that adds this functionality?
