For each feature, I always got a phase where I describe it on paper, with
numerous corners cases. I didn't finish this phase, so only major parts
will be available here, don't wait for a real finished RFC, but more for
proposal that can be changed if we see some troubles adead :)

It we can yes. The problem is not really the scripts, but the dependencies
(like my script need python-mysql on debian and libmysql on RedHat, things
like this). It can be great to manage this, but I think it will work
flawlessly only on few distro (I think we should focus on RedHat6/7 and
debian/ubuntu only).
Many time, a pack comes with its own plugin

It mainly depends on the dev here, or if the people taht are doing the pack
are the main dev or someone else. For core packs, it will be the same
repository "because we can" :)

cf my previous points.

I prefer that we stick to a "described logic" than a script one. We will
try to stick to a simple thing like this, and if we can't, add hooks for
scripts.

There will be a way to disable packs/modules without erase them. So if you
clone it with a ew name, you will be able to got your own. But won't work
for update.

Won't be so hard, but won't be direct either. It's just a matter of moving
some directories to another place.

Just wait some days, then I should got a first version available with
current packs and modules :)

Yes no problem. Let jsut got a first version available, then we will be
able to list what can be great, and the corners cases that should be tested
:)
