I don't want new functionality available to an application just because someone has permission to install a package somewhere in the PYTHONPATH. I would rather have plugins added to an app through an explicit configuration step of some sort.
Note that this is not incompatible with entry points; an application can simply treat entry points as a list of *available* plugins, rather than as a list of *active* plugins. Chandler, for example, does this for user-level plugins.
