Not following what you mean here ?

Yes that is a good thing overall. The problem is many plugins don't even 
do basic UI interaction well. i.e. litter the context menu
with actions, not integrating with the existing eclipse infrastructure 
etc. it results in a very fragmented experience unfortunately ;/

I'm not following what you mean/expect here ? When have eclipse not seen 
non-eclipse.org projects as valuable ?

Problem I have is that if it projects don't participate in eclipse 
release train nor want to honor eclipse API guidelines they become 
something that is really really hard to rely on. Thus we can't include 
everything just because it exists.

What should that say that is not already happening ?

You should do that in a separate mail thread instead of mingled in here. 
Becomes more visible that way.

You can post on the community forums too if you prefer.
