When I started to work out the details I hit a bunch of questions which I did write up on the ML:

I had a face to face discussion about this complex topic with Slawek at the Denver Summit with a preliminary agreement summarized here:

* Let's improve the detection of incompatible plugin combinations at neutron-server startup time. The placement reporter service plugin should verify the core plugin loaded is one it can work together with (I'll take this work).
* We see a theoretical option to make the placement reporter plugin more generic, but not knowing the next use case in proper detail (likely how to support agentless mechanism drivers) we don't see how to realize this now practically. Therefore we propose to postpone any work here until one better understands the next use case. In order to avoid premature generalization.

Slawek, please correct me if I missed or misunderstood something.
