Nothing against the plugin mechanism, but for me it's hard to see how keeping basic features separate is helpful. In the situation now, 99% of all users or user-wannabes consider pcb to not support teardrops. The only options for them are to either get away without teardrops or to search for a PCB layout package which does. Worst case they fire up their code editor and start to reinvent the wheel. Those few who ask for it get back a link which requires them to install a compiler, mess around with source code and place custom files. Instead of having it installed by the package manager already. And not to mention the ugly face of bitrotting. That said, I just tried to include that, too, but it wasn't obvious for me where to place them. Did you find that out already?
