Making plugins to provide their activities named as

         <action>-<system>-<variant>

will make it easy to group and use:

    ipa-advise config-solaris11-padl
       ....    config-freebsd7-padl
       ....    config-aix63-native
       ....    list
       ....    help
       ....    setup-ipa-trust2ad
       ....    setup-ipa-dnsdelegation

and so on.

    ipa-advise list

would show all plugins (filtering itself, i.e. list and help plugin)
with their short descriptions.

Sure.
