It strikes me as ideal to be able to ship Scribus with a "core plugin"
set eventually - plugins that are good quality, well tested, and
portable. Especially when it comes to upgrading from an older version of
Scribus, having a set of common and quality plugins packaged with the
app strikes me as a major advantage as it means one doesn't have to go
and hunt out new versions of all the installed plugins.
