The config code didn't really change between 3.1 and 3.2. 3.2 doesn't
care if you have one pre file or twenty. However, what does matter is
that you have all the loadplugin lines that you need to have. In 3.2,
the check() function was pluginized, and so you need to load a plugin
that implements the function or else you don't have a check() function.
Without that function, SA can't scan anything, and so it helpfully alerts
you to the fact that you don't have this functionality.

If you remove all your pre files, you will have broken your SA install, forget
sa-update.
In short, and I'll say it in caps so people know I mean this very seriously:
DON'T PUT LOADPLUGIN LINES IN CF FILES, LEAVE THEM IN PRE FILES
I only know of one good reason to put loadplugin lines in a cf file, and it
involves testing plugins from a sandbox. I haven't come up with a reason in a
normal production install.

Why would you do that?

Of course, you've disabled all the plugins. sa-update can't lint anything,
and you've broken your install.
