In some sense of the word, RedDot / Open Text has accepted some rare plugins. My updated version of the FCKEditor was eventually bundled into the distributed version of CMS 7.5 as part of the official distribution. I think I've seen others - although I believe the majority of those have come from their partners. The Ephox editor is another example.
I also had quite a few conversations with RedDot employees about this at various levels. They have never been uptight about the warranty other than to remind me that I am modifying their code and that I am assuming my own risk. That being said, they know who I am and have always been willing to help and are very supportive. One of the reasons we initially selected RedDot and we continue to be happy with them is how extensible the product is by way of RQL, plugins, render tags, etc. Yes you can create a mess, but you can also do some pretty cool things (like completely mange all your group memberships in an external LDAP and sync them with RQL). Here's what we do when we need to call support: under our user settings, we set our Preferred Text Editor to the RedDot Text Editor and make sure the problem still occurs. Then we leave it there until the support call is through just to make sure that they can properly troubleshoot with tools they are familiar with. I'm fairly certain that the edit-via-form changes are the only ones that will give you warranty problems (they are the only ones that have actually modify RedDot code). Unfortunately, there was just no way around that. In the RedDot CMS 7.5 and earlier code there are multiple hard coded references to the external editor being at the path "fckeditor" - even though there is a project setting that specifies this. The changes I outline just have you undo some of those hard coded settings.
