My guess is noone. Not hating on you, just pointing that out.
His point is not to find alternative ways to add things we would normally just add directly to the source code, he is wanting the give the option of completely reworking how some systems are handled. So, if you wanted to add some new custom commands, or maybe change how some core systems work, you could do that and then still stay current with EQEmu, since the plugin will be compatible with the new version as well. I think this would allow for greater flexibility into the custom server world. At least that is if I am understanding the concept correctly.
