I think it is clear that people are losing interest, and I believe this is
because there is no immediate reward for our thoughts. Possibly, people
should propose models of a complete plugin API, several alternative models
that is, and solicit contributions and refinements. Then we could vote, or
something. These models would be in the form of stub host/stub plugin and
enable all negotatios, graph construction, etc.
