Hi Sam,

The SHEC plugin[0] has been running in the rados runs[1] in the past few months. It also has a matching corpus verification which runs on every make check[2] as well as its optimized variants. I believe the flag "experimental" can now be removed. 

In order to do so, we need to use a PLUGINS_V3 feature, in the same way we did back in Giant when the ISA and LRC plugins were introduced[3]. This won't be necessary in the future, when there is a generic plugin mechanism, but right now that's what we need. It would be a commit very similar to the one implementing PLUGINS_V2[4].

Is this agreeable to you ? Or would you rather see another way to resolve this ?

Cheers
