Ah, OK.

Yes.

True. IMO, people should just not load the widget if they
don't plan on seeing our mess :-))

I can see what you mean.

Absolutely. So, don't do it. Don't sell both Terry-Plugin
*and* all the clinical direct-plugins that may appear together.
That *is* the nature of plugins. They plug in and out :-)

One thing, however, that I'd fully agree to is to make the
Richard-Plugin not be another plugin framework, eg. statically
load it's modules. This is really all but a cosmetic change
but I assume it'd remove the unease about having two plugin
frameworks.

How does that sound ?
