frankly, not. if a plugin is carrying a module to import, it's because it's 
tested (and fixed) on that module version. Having them fetch all from a 
central repo would resort in having django-like environments where a plugin 
requires version x.y.z and another x.y.z-1 , that gives pretty serious 
headaches.

The naming on plugins for web2py is just a standard convention (i.e. 
creating controllers that starts with plugin_*), to avoid interference 
between each others and the app they're installed into.
