Discussed with Matthias Klump (ximion) about if it made sense to split the 
plugins out of the gnome-software binary package:
<robert_ancell> ximion, Do you have any plans to split the gnome-software 
package into subpackages for plugins? Asking mostly because it seems a waste of 
time to put limba into main
<ximion> robert_ancell: I currently want to explicitly avoid doing that, since 
it will result in some people having fwupd support, some have Limba support and 
some have xdg-app support or any combination of these...
<robert_ancell> ximion, yeah, it wasn't clear to me how you'd divide them up 
either.
<ximion> those different featuresets would result in making it pretty hard to 
rely on stuff
<ximion> robert_ancell: I thought about this a bit, since I saw that issue 
coming, and decided that I would like to avoid splitting out plugins - GS not 
knowing about modules can be a prblem on it's own
<ximion> (GS makes the components, Limba, fwupd and soon xdg-app visible, if it 
starts without them users will wonder why GS is not showing the app they just 
installed, until they notice that gnome-software-plugin-xdg-app is missing)
 also, which plugins should be split out is another complicated question
