It might get tricky if we follow that path. I am not sure we can speak for
all the plugins, especially the community plugins plans and timelines.
What about finding a middle ground and targeting " Pulpcore is multi-user
safe 3.7+ with the following list of plugins", where the list will of
plugins will be increasing with time.
I would not want to hit the bottleneck and wait with "Pulp is multi-user
safe unless all plugins have rbac support".
