besides the redhat / patent / law discussion:

if the plugin-system is flexible enough that you can install
any however linked plugin later without introduce dependecies
for any core-component which sould be optional -> all perfect

in this case nothing is touching the lawyers and the enduser
loving a as much as tiny sezup does not get more and more
packages as cross-dependecnies

IMHO this is the right way to go in any software-development
and at the begin it was NOT clear if the core would introduce
ffmpeg and wahtever else dependencies for whatever distribution
