Good point Criag - let's see what the response to this request is before we
look at an entire plugin ecosystem...
Question: does the minishift plugin offering lend itself in any way to
being re-used or ported into the oc tool?

waiting for the OpenShift team to get back on your issue. Adding a plugin
structure to oc is likely a much bigger piece of work and need a lot more
engagement from the OpenShift team.
That doesn't mean a different proposal for this approach could not be made
however, but rather that our current proposal covers our immediate need and
has clear prior art.
