Thanks! What's WP-PEAR? Couldn't find anything on it.

My main hope is to allow plugin developers the ability to modify the 
admin mechanisms without touching the core code. It's pretty much 
impossible right now.

Anyone have some feedback on how best to approach this?

I thought of maybe encapsulating each section into an array that's only 
run when needed. That way you'd allow developers to rearrange the load 
order, break off pieces individually, etc. What's most WP-centric based 
on existing practices?
