[sos-devel] s/plugin/module/g?

[Jesse Jaggars]

I can see a small benefit in calling them modules, since they literally 
are python modules. My only reservation would be that module doesn't 
really explain what purpose they serve, although plugin is just as bad.

I have been operating under the assumption that the 'plugin' interface was
intended to be stable. I did make alterations, but I also believe we should
bump the major version number to reflect the change.

In terms of pure terminology, I don't think plugin is a better or worse term
than module, so either term is acceptable to me.

Thanks,
Jesse

I find myself increasingly talking about sos modules rather than plugins
mostly to try to avoid the impression that we're offering a stable
interface to 3rd party code.

Module bothers me a little due to potential confusion with python
modules but I wonder if it's worth changing the term (to module or some
other better name) in our code and docs to make this clearer?

I definitely want to document the fact that we prefer all the bits
(apart from site-local possibly) to be shipped in the sos package for
future versions.

Cheers,
Bryn.
