Why? The effect plugins have a version tag to guarantee API matches, this  
covers ABI as well.
Whenever the tag gets bumped the distros will have to update the package,  
the situation would
be not much different as it is atm with 3rd party plugins, just that KDE  
would host them and
KWin could put some less relevant effects there which are currently in the  
core.

This would not free us from development restrictions (i18n) or pace  
(delays on serious bugfixes
delays, just think of the flipswitch issue - which i can stunningly not  
reproduce...), yesno?
