This is exactly what it is.  Just that anything that can be, as a module,
enabled or disabled is handled through the plugin API.  "Native" plugins
are Slim/Plugin/* modules, while third party are installed in Plugins, or
the cache (in the case of installation using ED).  I highly doubt it would
be perceived as all that much "simpler" if there were two pages for
accessing enable/disable of featuresets.

Much of the functions you know are done through the plugin API now simply
because it's matured into a API that can simply hook into the various UIs
and maintain a feature set in one module.  Examples: song scanning,
favourites UI, Random Mix, and most of the online music services.
