Not Fabrizio's doing at all, I'm just asking that you be careful in what
you apply because the xdoc plugin is going to be one of the first
bridges between component land, and with it maintainability, and the
maven1 plugins.

Who cares if it's spectacular or not, if Arnaud ever only works on the
PDF plugin and does a good job I'm not going to fault him for that. As
with everything you're going to get a mix, people people who work
specificially on a particular plugin and those like you and Dion who
might not know much about a particular plugin but about plugins in
general. 

At any rate a list of core versus other plugins as this might not be
much of an issue if a lot of the plugins are pushed out. Just glancing
at the list I think half of them could be pushed out easily.
