Comment (by dmsnell):

 What fun and challenge here. This stuff is hard, and thanks everyone for
 both making this possible and for everyone who highlighted its impact on
 yourselves and others.

 @tellyworth I wonder if we could look for something like `registry-
 preview-blueprints.json` in a plugin’s root dir, and if it exists, link it
 to the button. That way, there’s no need to toggle a setting in an admin
 panel; the opt-in is someone choosing how they want to present their
 plugin. What do you all think about that idea?

 Obviously there’s much work to do to dynamically load PHP extensions and
 button up the missing functionality around networking, but blueprints can
 do so much today and I think we could definitely make up some guides to
 demonstrate how to prepare a plugin for its preview/display.

 For everyone sharing their support while sharing their critiques; thank
 you so much. Sometimes discussions online get so nasty, and it’s
 refreshing to read people who are upset but still understanding and
 encouraging.
