If for some reason you decide to delete Addon Loader, your addon will still load normally, despite having the tags for it, in its .toc. If you disable Addon Loader and your addon(s) contain the tags to detect it, then they won't load AT ALL, since their load manager is present but not really working, so it does not "signal" them on when to load.

Right, I understand this. What I'm wondering is if we're able to
manually edit the .toc and/or .lua to
build the AddonLoader compatibility, as well as the LOD hook itself, if need be.
Also, from what I understood about AddonLoader, if an addon WAS
already written to support it, the user could define specific hooks, like the addon not loading until the bank is visited, or entering a Battleground.
These are two separate questions. Are both true?
Thanks,
