I've seen multiple times where a "framework" with a "plugin"
architecture was meant to provide "unified API", but in practice none
of the plugins were packaged/installed/usable and thus the "unified
API" was just a layer of abstraction / indirection with no added
value. Path of least resistance is to package this and go on with
doing better things. Ideally one would patch that out, and e.g. make
things that depend on that js library to just use straight html5
tags/api/etc.
