Description
in pytest when we use conftests with pytest_plugins,
those specifications are not disabled when using other paths
as such, as soon as trees of conftests that use pytest_plugins, we get a inconsistent dependency state of plugins
additionally some plugins dod epend on other plugins either optionally or directly
experiments and a larger discussion are needed to give this issue the required detail for concrete action

Done criteria require experiments and a concrete, agreed scope before implementation.
