I see gui-plugins more like "add-ons" and seeing that some of them 
behave strangely, I think it's a good habit to have infos about external 
libs being loaded in default debug level.

from a noob pov it could easily lead to problems such as:

- why is pd behaving strangely suddenly ?
- remove all your gui-plugins and try again ?
- ooh, I forgot that I used xxx-plugin which is breaking pd !

this kind of infos posted at startup would make sense to me:
Gem version x
Gridflow version x
xxx-plugin version x
...

but maybe that's just me ;)
I understand your point though and I'll remove it from my code.
