This problem, an outdated plugin, it's not new  (Hyper-V), and with the increasing numbers of them (storage like Zadara, Nexenta... network with Nicira, BigSwitch, Citrix...) we need a policy to deal with this. From the vendor point of view, it's not easy to follow the development release cycle that OpenStack has now days, with so many changes day after day. Maybe plugins should be out of OpenStack code, and let vendors to publish them after the release.

We are going to discuss a plan at the summit for making this easier.
