I am just talking general now, but it seems to me that there have been many suggestions on user-land solutions like shared librares and so forth just to say there is no need for file streams and plugins. Many of these ideas do exist in one way or another, but none is truly system wide and and as application independent as file streams+plugins would be. Would it not be much less effort to implement these in a good way, than trying to reinvent lots of new stuff in userland - that wouldn't be systemwide anyway?
