And I'm actually not sure it'd be for the better (by turning it into
a "Plugins vs Extensions"). Technically, plugins are a particular kind of
extensions so such a subsumption would introduce more fuzziness to the matter
than necessary. Of course, that's a technical fuziness, which doesn't really
matter to the user. What really matters to user is the impact this thing will
have on the application behavior (will it add a new feature? will it modify a
lot the behavior of the application? will it change its look?). I guess that
in order to get a better terminology that's the angle we should look at it,
not blindly give them all the same name.
That was my 0.02€.
Regards.
