Well, it seems a little silly to me that we would need to make a new release number any time someone makes a new driver. Also, I just looked at the disk usage for my latest checkout of trunk, and the "core" package takes about 1MB while "synthdrivers" takes almost 6MB. So, most of the space and compile-time is going into the synthdrivers, and most users only need one or two of those. Just seems like a lot of waste. > That said, a plugin system is not a *bad* thing; it will get us thinking > about stabilizing the API. But at this point, we have much bigger fish to > fry. Like?
