I would prefer small plugins that do one things, like we already have
applets,runners etc. tHe idea is that theere could be 3rd party ones
as well (i can easily see an akonadi one for instance)

the performaance cost here is that having a ton of small so loaded has
for sure an hoverhead, but i can see things like applications using
maybe only one model, like the runner one is more probable in a shell
while the metadata one is more likely to be used in an application as
well.
