Ok, just to confirm my understanding.

- we have one domain level.
- each (new) plugin or compoment has to define its minimal domain level 
and execute only features covered by this level
- in addition, these plugins have to expose their (plugin)  version on 
each server, allowing checks for setting the domain level
