I think this is another unwanted consequence for vB4 customers due to the change in licensing Internet Brands implemented after buying vBulletin. Because IB got paid once and has no recurring revenue stream from its customers it needs to make deals with companies such as Panjo, Skimlinks, etc in order to keep some money coming in.

So the customers get the plugins that the overwhelming majority of them never even wanted in the first place bundled along with the software that they paid for.

But maybe by being accountable to Panjo, IB was more "motivated" to get the 4.2.2 release out in a timely manner, so I guess the unwanted add-ons may serve some purpose after all.
