I don't think the benefit for targets or architectures is a
particularly large one. Folks should expect to have to deal with core
GDB for these, or use the remote protocol boundary. I do think we will
want plugins eventually, but I haven't thought much about whether real
dlopen'd plugins are worthwhile, or e.g. python.
One classic example of this: domain-specific "shared library" objects
for custom module loaders, like the Linux kernel's or X11's.
