Description

When we got a list of updated plugins, I can't update cordova-plugin-file. It keeps looping in the between plugins below saying that "You can't remove because this plugin... is required for other plugin...." even with -f or --force option.

We can only update plugins by add/remove command though. I thought it's developer responsibility to know which plugins for what. Or at least a warning message (it does warn) but allow the plugin to be removed and re-added.
