Let it be implemented as tooling which doesn't affect the core and people will decide what they like to use.

The enforcer plugin addition goes a long way. A simple tool for creating a block with the latest releases I am making now for a client. People can compose these tools as they wish to provide they stability they desire.

Hi,

This is the best summary I can get from the discussion earlier this month about this proposal:

- in terms of having some way to simplify specifying a group of plugins: 4 in favour, 3 against, 1 on the fence and 2 that wanted a compromise (a plugin to automate snippet injection)

- in terms of *requiring* versions to be locked down: the poll was split 50/50. Some said they would only vote for this if there was some way of doing the above easily.

So it's pretty much split. It's worth nothing there is general appeal for mixins in a more well-defined form, and that could be applied to the first.

I'm not pursuing the original proposal at this stage - however I will revise in the future.
