The code for the various dsp and display drivers is already separated and there is already a plugin interface in place so changes will (hopefully) not need to touch a lot of places. So, no it will not allow you to download a new driver but it will allow you to download new display and dsp drivers and it will make packagers life easier (those that want to provide as many options as possible).
