Replying to myself here. After trying the example plugin in my moovida
1.0.7 as updated by my moovida 1.0.6 rpm, loading of one of them fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):

exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name OpenControllerActionWithItem
It seems OpenControllerActionWithItem was added after 1.0.7
If you want to attract developers and give a good 5 minute out of box
experience, I recommend you make sure your example plugin works always
with the latest release at a minimum, and with more if possible.
