I use Nessus for Windows.  I turn off some of the plugins in some families
so I see mostly vulnerabilities in my reports.  But once you start selecting
individual plugins rather than families, plugin updates become a problem.
You don't know what's new, so you have to review the plugin lists.  Is there
a way to tell what's changed or new?  All the plugins get the current date
when I update.  I suppose I could make a copy of the plugin directory and use
a differencing program, but it seems there should be a better way.

[Examples of what I exclude: Firefox<1.01, <1.02,... only keep the highest,
lists of what I can do because I have supplied administrator credentials.]
