I may - but since you know the details of the plugin subsystem, tell me what _should_ be there? I.e. should we really include it in the plugin.includes list, or not?

This is a philosophically question.
I personal prefer restrict definitions, since applications behavior is better traceable. That was a reason I implemented the plugin system in a restrict way. Later on this was washed out by the plugin.auto-activation mechanism, what I still think was not a good move.

However in the moment we have the situation that nutch- extensionpoints is not included but the the auto activation mechanism includes this plugin since it is used by all other plugins. So if you switch of auto activation today with default configured plugin-includes nutch will crash. My person point of view is to add nutch-extensionpoints and switch off auto activation. .. but this is just my personal point of view...
