Nuage plugin in noredist or not

[Hugo Trippaers]

Heya,

While doing the review for the Nuage plugin (review 23282) i found that the 
plugin requires an distribution restricted library. Suresh (the developer) 
solved any runtime dependency problems by dynamically loading the library. My 
question is should we put the Nuage plugin in the noredist build because of 
this dependency anyway to clearly indicate that it is an optional component 
that needs distribution restricted libraries to work properly.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Hugo

I think it should be in noredist, based on what I've seen.

I like the solution and wouldn't mind setting it as a policy for no
redist plugins. Still I think it should be in the noredist build to
prevent surprises for users at runtime.
