In fact the general direction with Wireshark has been the opposite: to get rid
of plugins and make them all built-in dissectors.  I don't remember all the
reasons, but personally I dislike plugins because of all the overhead each one
requires (e.g., requiring so many files per dissector) and the fact that (GNU)
"make -j <N>" doesn't compile them in parallel.
