Fair enough.
I'll show a perspective. But I want to clarify: This is just a hypothesis
:-)
NSE brings to users the a powerful and *extensible* way to add new features
to search networks and make sophisticated detections.
If it is extensible, current user couldn't need this. So why they needs NSE
Facilitator?
But I'm not sure about that.I'm aware if we integrate it to umit package we
could easily use the module if it necessary and maybe will be in right side.
Plugin or not plugin sounds good to me know if NSEFacilitator is ready to be
on 1.0.

No. If you see Rhythmbox or emesene, they did the same.
