Sorry for my ignorance, but if you send a patch series like this, could
you please elaborate a little bit more on the topic what this all is
about? In this cover letter, you basically give only some pointers about
other patch series and point the reader to patch 2, but also patch 2
does not really have a proper *description* of what this is really all
about. Sure, it's about plugins, but what kind of plugins? Audio? Video?
CPU? Everything? If you send RFC, you should properly describe your
vision first, and maybe give some examples, before you jump into the
details.

 Thanks,
