Lv2 extension plan #4954
Description
** This is WIP **
Background
Lv2 has many extensions, and some of them contain features. Extensions are things the plugin provides for a host, and features are things the host provides for a plugin. Note: Even if a host does not care about a specific extension, the plugin can require a feature from that extension, which means the plugin won't run without it.
Purpose
This plan helps to identify
- which extensions we should implement
- in what order
