I wouldn't go that far. My script tries to use the free_layout method to find the right widget to insert VR3 into, and that raises an exception it uses the new method instead. One could easily move the script into the plugin itself as a command. So I think they could coexist - with some rewriting, of course. This works when the plugin is not enabled in the settings. So it never uses the "provider" mechanism and never gets registered with the nested splitter machinery (which doesn't exist in the new approach, of course). The question is, then, what will count as a plugin without the provider infrastructure? We certainly want people to be able to write code and have it work with Leo, and some existing plugins aren't GUI-related and don't use the nested splitter code anyway. It seems we have to rethink the idea of a GUI plugin and how it should work. We shouldn't send the plugins to the attic, because people are using them.
