Should cordova plugin save be removed/updated?

Feature Request

Note: I'm happy to help implement this feature myself if it's deemed worthy of implementation

Either remove the feature straight up, or perhaps running it could update the package.json instead of the config.xml?

We could start by deprecating if removal is the option of choice.

Motivation Behind Feature

cordova plugin save add the currently installed plugins into the config.xml as <plugin> elements.

Since the cordova CLI no longer looks to the config.xml for plugin information, perhaps it's time for this command to be repurposed or removed altogether?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Since we save the list of installed plugins to configuration files by default for quite some time now, I would argue we should remove that command altogether.

Looks like it's already been removed from cordova-lib here: apache/cordova-lib#781 .
It's also been removed from the cli here as well: #486

All that remains is that it appears when you run cordova plugin --help, so removing that here: #559
