For me, the point is that the built-in upload for fckeditor allows
users to upload any type of file they want to the server, and link it
easily - perhaps more easily than if they had to go to the
filemanagement plugin, upload, then work out how to link that from a
story.

If filemanagement plugin files were that easy to integrate into
stories, then there would be no need to enable archives etc. in
fckeditor. They aren't at the moment, so please don't disable that
feature totally.
