So far I haven't seen a justification for anything as grand as what
you're talking about.
There's already some basic support for plugin handling. The following
needs for enhancement have been identified:
1) Loading plugins involves a bit too much code and to much
specification of directory names near the code that is specific to the
particular service.
2) It would be nice to turn off plugins in a configuration file.
3) It might be nice to statically register or otherwise have
application-specific plugins rather than system-wide dynamic plugins
There are quite possibly other things needed.
I do not understand why we would need a configuration file of services
as you specify; that seems like it can be hard coded.
