I would prefer to keep it as is. Because of the version number nightmare
that would be introduced the other way. We would need to keep a
compatibility matrix to state which versions of core and all plugins are
compatible, and even which plugin versions are compatible to each other
(if they interact).
I also see the benefit of being able to release a single plugin on it's
own but I think in the end it causes more trouble.
