E.g. have your seperate source, with a bunch of options set via rule_values or something, to verify what kind of stuff you want "plugged" into the source.
Plugins are usually more for those who want to optionally have some sort of "add on" to the original code. And those add ons, if very customized, are probably easier to manage via a seperate SVN tree and just make it your responsibility to keep it up to date with the latest SVN branch than have plugins that need to keep compatible with the latest SVN as 3rd party mods to it essentially... not to mention you need to debug a plugin system, etc..

In the long run, I think a plugin system would be more extensible than using a svn branch.
