It depends on how strict you treat the term "add-on". I take a pretty
broad view w.r.t. add-on and interpret it to mean products that enhance
the broader Bazaar experience/ecosystem. That includes stuff like CGI
scripts and TortoiseBzr which aren't strictly bzr plugins. Things like
https://launchpad.net/publish-bot are more than "just a plugin" too.

Technically, that's true. From a user perspective, I suggesting that
products integrating X with Y are "add ons" to both X and Y while
typically being a plugin to either X or Y.

I'm suggesting we should use the terms like this:

  extras = plugins + add-ons

"plugins" and displayed (and ultimately managed) using "bzr qplugins" or
"bzr plugins". "add-ons" aren't.

Yes, the cross-platform one. :-) :-)
