should add to the security of migration.
Allowing the target to choose the port is good practice but not added
security.
Why do plugins have to exist? The only reason to have a plugin
mechanism is to be able to maintain plugins outside of the Xend tree
which would require a stable plugin interface. I don't think we're at a
point where we can do that.
No, you are missing an important point. The plugin mechanism is
necessary to isolate specialized device migration code from
general-purpose migration code. I don't think it has anything to do with
where the plugins are maintained.
This all sounds like it's going to add complexity. The tools are
already far too complex.
I think the complexity is already there in the usage scenarios. So this
is not adding complexity. Rather it is dealing with complexity that
exists. Right now the tools ignore most of the complex scenarios.
