Hi Noury!

Well the internal plugins are part of the vm executable and the
external plugins are shipped as separate shared library files. The
interface to both variants is the same, but not every vm plugin might
work as an external or internal plugin depending on the
implementation.
I don't know if this is still true, but there was also the idea, that
an external plugin "overrides" an internal version. So in the case of
a malfunctioning internal plugin, you could ship a new external plugin
of the same name that will be used instead of the internal one when
placed in a location of the vm plugin paths. But that's all out of my
flaky memory and could be totally different nowadays.:)
