I'm not sure I get your point. Are you saying all the 17 plugins were 
written by the same person ? My point is: most of the plugins should be 
part of the core yum package and therefore installed by default on all 
fedora distros ('installed' not being equal to 'enabled by default'), 
and people - community members - should be working on making yum better, 
rather than writing plugins to work around the known yum limitations.
