How does nessusrc handle the introduction of new plugins?

Subject: How does nessusrc handle the introduction of new plugins?

Hi there

I run nessus from cron with a "static" nessrc config file - enabling this
and disable that, etc.

Then I do a nessus-update-plugins - what happens next? Do any new plugins
automatically get activated? 

I know that if I update the plugins and then start the GUI, some of those
plugins do become enabled, and via "follow dependencies" can easily end up
with tonnes of plugins becoming activate when I didn't want them to.

I want to routinely update the plugins, but I don't want to have to
routinely "hand-edit" (even if via the GUI) nessusrc again. 

Is there a way around this?
