I think the initial idea was that people outside the project will
provide plugins which will then be delivered as separate packages
by the distros. This, unfortunately, never happened and all current
plugins are part of the main source code tree. From what I know,
distros usually build the whole tree, so the details in the handbook
can be removed. (my 2 cents)
