There's a lot of issues in our issue tracker, not all of them should be solved by such an extension mechanism. So while for instance interpolation to NULL is a commonly requested feature, it'd probably be smarter to just "fix" the problem in interpolation than to make a whole new feature just so someone can sett a value==null. I'm not looking for a silver bullet to rule them all.
I believe this is one of the things gradle got right: A strong project structure and a clear default lifecycle where it's easy to modify behaviour. By making plugins effectively closed for extension I think we are too rigid. While forking a plugin certainly has gotten easier, it's not really what we want either.
