Reiser4 plugins are not for end users to download from amazon.com, they are for weekend hackers to send me a cool plugin for me to review, assign a plugin id to, and send to Linus in the next release. Sometimes being less ambitious works better, and dynamically loaded plugins would have made the infrastructure too bulky to be fun and fast.
