Does this not conflict with the requirement for wrapping other plugin
types to GMPI?
On the one hand, we don't want to limit GMPI to being a crippled subset of
existing architectures, but on the other hand we've already covered how
important it is that other plugin types be usable in a GMPI-native
environment.
Mandating that all plugins MUST be parameter-controlled only means that
the vast majority of existing plugins cannot be wrapped to be
GMPI-compliant (and in many cases cannot be ported to GMPI-compliance
without significant recoding).
I hate to say it, but I think we'll have to fudge this one somehow... Thoughts?
