Overrides ftdetect from filetype plugins

[clason]

This may be a fundamental limitation of this approach rather than a bug that should be fixed, but I wanted to report it nevertheless (especially considering the possibility of upstreaming it):

When filetype.nvim is installed, it (correctly) disables the built-in filetype.vim. However, it also disables all ftdetect/foo.vim in runtimepath, which means that filetype plugins like https://github.com/lervag/vimtex which extend or correct Vim's detection logic no longer work.

Of course, I can mirror what the plugin's ftdetect/ scripts are doing in my setup, but a more conservative (and still as performant) approach would be to disable only filetype.vim but keep sourcing ftdetect/ scripts (which, however, may require changes in core so be only relevant for an upstream version).

Agreed. Can you reopen that issue so I can close this as duplicate?
