be.  In the wild, we've seen some objects set conventions in the object's constructor (3), but this can lead to unexpected assumptions or coupling between plugins.

For external plugins, it's difficult for an object to be used outside the application of a plugin, so following best practices is relatively straightforward.  For core plugins in gradle/gradle, it's easy for an object to be created without applying its associated plugin. For instance, Spring has a plugin that uses the Checkstyle...
