This seems fair enough, and was more or less what I meant.

Again, I'm not really concerned about MIT so I can't argue this point
for other people, I will try and get some more specific information
though. After taking to people though there seems to be very little
resistance.

I think we could probably work something out here, will have to talk
to others about this though. One thing that I think does make a lot of
sense is the settings plugin being in core (individual backends can
still be plugins). After we transitioned to this we also started using
an is_active setting on each plugin rather than a_active_plugins.

I will write again once I have a chance to talk to other members of
the community again.
