I'd have to agree that this was kind of dumb. We wouldn't be forced to use "hacks" to display a menu if we were provided with a proper ingame menu as opposed to the crap that Valve handed us. If Valve tried to make even one useful server plugin they would be unsuccessful in doing so without using any hacks. It is obvious to me that the server plugin interface is just to appease the coders so that they can't say Valve doesn't care about server-side plugins, which obviously they don't.
