Originally, I was having *very* similar thoughts. Then I realised it needs to be (essentially) "free" - $$$ becomes a barrier to entry for a lot of people, which, depending on the topic, includes me.
It is an intriguing idea, nonetheless. But, as Mat said, the proposed approach is a "good interim solution" - I don't want to lose sight of that, initially. It's best, I think, to get something working better than the status quo that solves the numero uno problem - how the hell do I find something that solves my immediate problem. A one-top-shop for plugins (with GOOD explanations in the announcements) might just solve that.
