EPG support falls into the category of the most basic functionality.
I'm not convinced things like this belong as optional plugins to be
honest.  Some things, such as VDR's attachment to FF cards, make sense
as plugins.  But it seems the automatic answer to everything is 'make
it a plugin' now.  So is VDR to become merely a plugin manager with no
actual core functionality anymore?  Is it wise to have VDR rely on
plugins to be usable at all?  These types of questions deserve
consideration when you want to walk on slippery slopes.
