my formulation was too short and so not clear, << plugin strong organization >>
would have of the being something like
<< plugin metadata and some rules to be able to have efficient documentation to find easily what plugin install for the choosing function >>
and nothing about repository management, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

But I immediately add the remark done by sharan, taher, ... It's not a current discussion subject for today.
We should have first have some plugin available. (I'm currently testing the webdriver-tools addon migrated as a plugin)
