Pro Tools quits unexpectedly while loading plug-ins on launch (PT-206888)

This is a bug from the PT 12.8.3 read me which just bit my system last night.
PT 2018.1 Sierra 10.12.6 MAC. Happens in systems with 100's of plugins.
So definitely not fixed in 2018.1 !
Below is the workaround from the 12.8.3 Readme:

• Move approximately 100 plug-ins (or more) from the Plug-Ins folder to the Plug-Ins (Unused) folder (/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/).
• Launch Pro Tools.
• Quit Pro Tools.
• Move the plug-ins back from the Plug-Ins (Unused) folder to the Plug-Ins folder.
• Launch Pro Tools.

Why does PT have this and other vunerabilities involving plug ins??
