Basically something like...

rubygems/config_file.rb

  # True if we want plugin loading to be limited to gem command
  attr :command_plugins_only

rubygems.rb

  unless Gem.configuration.command_plugins_only
    gem.load_plugins
  end

rubygems/gem_runner.rb

  if Gem.configuration.command_plugins_only
    gem.load_plugins
  end
