If you move them into a separate module for 2.5, just don't include it in the parent's build process (include it only as a special Maven profile). It's someone is a die-hard hacker and wants to build it themselves, they can.
PS: When 3.0 comes around, I recommend we split off all plugins into independent release cycles like Maven plugins. This way we can evolve and deprecate them independently without waiting for core releases.
