Who is the "we" that has a dependency? AFAIK, the only subproject that
depends on Extras is Apps, because the applications use some of the
optional classes.

If for some reason you don't like "Extras", we could just call it
"Optional", like Ant does.

The problem is that we have a class called "PlugIn", and there are
things besides PlugIn classes that are optional, like the ever growing
number of dispatch actions :)

Another likely suspect could be that nutty ValidatorActionForm class
that confues everyone at first. If it were in Extras, it would be
clear which we consider to be the default.

I think calling the package PlugIns woudl be confusing unless it only
contained PlugIns. And if that package only contained PlugIns, then we
would need another package for the other optional classes. 'm not sure
if I see the value-add in having an eight dwarf :)
