As discussed, I'm not sure this would make it any easier to program, it would still need a file watch and reload the plugins when it worked out the plugins were available.  Maybe there are some distros who use Packagekit and not Plasma Discover I'm not sure.  It's not as integrated for the user, it's a different application which could get lost rather than a modal dialog.  The main reason I've not coded it yet to try it is currently kipi-plugins can't be installed in Plasma Discover, at least in neon, it gives an error when trying "Dependency resolution failed".
