Comment (by alexander.rohmann):

 Sorry for hijacking your ticket. If you know where this would be on-topic
 let me know. I couldn't find it in trac anywhere. On-topic, I'd still
 disagree that core should encourage plugins to use anything that core
 can't utilize immediately as touched on above (51/52)

 A car dealership's service center wouldn't facilitate or recommend
 aftermarket alterations. They're totally possible, but that's on you.
 Thinking about the big picture, what would happen if all developers
 suddenly had preference of what to support or not support? Users could get
 anxious at just the thought of activating a plugin to see if it works or
 not.
