TestMonkey didn't realize this question may be asked for the next version... and it's surprised that Ema asks it.
My personal take: I think it's obvious for 1.0 it's supported just like any SMF mod. ('tis not on the roadmap either). I think it's the almost the same for 2.0, from my perspective. (don't shoot me, please remember I'm hardwired in a two-versions-ahead mode atm, lol, the other topic stretches it). I can see the possibility it will change for 2.0, for all or a part of the core software.
But I don't know about many of the details or intentions you folks have so far. And, you can always change it when I ain't looking, hey.
It's a feature of package manager, and while it's not making me happy (in a way), it's our current most used "extensibility mechanism" (yeah it's not "extensibility"), and it works. Why would we change it, soon?
