Thank you John, it helps; since I played with standalone I have not thought about it this way... So that's a good part :)
And seems like I need to store a list of plugins I install on master anyway, just in case server with master fail or I need to reinstall it.. Because as I see there are e.g. few different modules for postgresql and I need to know what exactly is/was used for my manifest.
