-// Lists all plugins used throughout the project
+/*
+ * By listing all the plugins used throughout all subprojects in the root project build script, it
+ * ensures that the build script classpath remains the same for all projects. This avoids potential
+ * problems with mismatching versions of transitive plugin dependencies. A subproject that applies
+ * an unlisted plugin will have that plugin and its dependencies _appended_ to the classpath, not
+ * replacing pre-existing dependencies.
