I tried this idea, once upon a time. Everybody hated it. Users found
it confusing and difficult to manage. Many complained about having
many plugins instead of just one. Things like that. It's a good idea,
and I personally like it, but hey, I'm a techie and so are you.
Non-technical users hate it. Switching to an all-in-one approach with
checkboxes to turn parts on and off basically ended those support
messages.
