And I'm actually not sure it'd be for the better (by turning it into=20
a "Plugins vs Extensions"). Technically, plugins are a particular kind of=20
extensions so such a subsumption would introduce more fuzziness to the matt=
er=20
than necessary. Of course, that's a technical fuziness, which doesn't reall=
y=20
matter to the user. What really matters to user is the impact this thing wi=
ll=20
have on the application behavior (will it add a new feature? will it modify=
 a=20
lot the behavior of the application? will it change its look?). I guess tha=
t=20
in order to get a better terminology that's the angle we should look at it,=
=20
not blindly give them all the same name.

That was my 0.02=E2=82=AC.
