imho the wordpress packaging should be changed in a way to allow the
user to drop their plugins/themes into /var/lib/wordpress/../ instead of
trying to package plugins and themes. Due to the nature of php and
wordpress, the code is hard to maintain in general, and many plugins are
a mess of code and often they open security related holes in your WP
installation. Maintaining a collection of plugins for WP sounds like a
nightmare for me.

only my 2c.
