Because you can't drop in new capabilities without recompiling. If an ISV or user
decides to write a subsystem, they have to recompile the console with all of the
appropriate plugins to get the functionality, which sucks. So EAP7 we have to be more
data-driven and dynamic.
I think we agreed on this part right. I mean the last discussions we had with you Stan and
David etc was that this is where we are going? Although maybe you just meant it was worth
looking into and you hadn't made up your mind.
