Comment 1 for bug 1536872

Discussed with Matthias Klump (ximion) about if it made sense to split the plugins out of the gnome-software binary package:
<robert_ancell> ximion, Do you have any plans to split the gnome-software package into subpackages for plugins? Asking mostly because it seems a waste of time to put limba into main
<ximion> robert_ancell: I currently want to explicitly avoid doing that, since it will result in some people having fwupd support, some have Limba support and some have xdg-app support or any combination of these...
<robert_ancell> ximion, yeah, it wasn't clear to me how you'd divide them up either.
<ximion> those different featuresets would result in making it pretty hard to rely on stuff
<ximion> robert_ancell: I thought about this a bit, since I saw that issue coming, and decided that I would like to avoid splitting out plugins - GS not knowing about modules can be a prblem on it's own
<ximion> (GS makes the components, Limba, fwupd and soon xdg-app visible, if it starts without them users will wonder why GS is not showing the app they just installed, until they notice that gnome-software-plugin-xdg-app is missing)
 also, which plugins should be split out is another complicated question
