I'd like to avoid mixing the /iOS repo with non ARC and ARC versions. It would be great to do all the ARC conversions on the https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/iOS-ARC-Conversion branch Then at a later date the ARC versions can be merged back into master all at once after a final notice is issued and testing has been done. Adding the -fno-objc-arc compiler flags in the interim will be much easier to explain/support. Also using the iOS-ARC-Conversion branch will "hide" the ARC versions from less experienced users minimizing confusion.
