Comment (by dustin):
Having the `fromjson.load` call in Buildbot makes sense. I also like that
you've separated plugins (which to me means steps, schedulers, status
receivers, and so on) from configuration. Lots of Buildbot users do
dynamic configuration generation -- it's even done in the metabuildbot
configuration -- but that can be handled by generating JSON.
This would have the added advantage of getting away from the pains of the
existing format:
* real, functional objects are instantiated in the config (e.g.,
schedulers)
* lots of backward compatiblity
* different case requirements
* import paths used in configs live forever
* ..I could think of more..
In fact, this wouldn't be horribly difficult to accomplish with the new
`MasterConfig` support.
Which brings us to the painful but all-too-common question: who's up for
implementing this? I'll start by adding it to ProjectIdeas.
