We were discussing this on the IRC channel. I've decided to call the new plugintype "module", because the plugintype shows up in the URL so we need it to be something nice and generic. Here's a discussion from Simon that summarizes the results of our discussion:

<simoncoggins> so the summary is:
<simoncoggins> 1. Some bits of core code can be isolated into a plugin
<simoncoggins> 2. This is generally a good idea to keep related code together
<simoncoggins> 3. Not all plugins fit within the existing types
<simoncoggins> 4. Therefore it would be good to have a generic plugin type
<simoncoggins> 5. It would be good if it was specific to the distribution to avoid clashing with 3rd party modules
<simoncoggins> 6. The name will be in the url therefore should be generic/not too messy
<simoncoggins> 7. Therefore module/ for core code, and possibly local/ for 3rd party stuff
