[RT] Plugin filesystem layout

[Brian M Dube <bd...@apache.org>]

What do you think about organizing plugins in the filesystem by type?

plugins/input
plugins/output
plugins/internal

The core and whiteboard plugin directories are not overcrowded yet, but 
they feel a little unorganized. Advantages, disadvantages, other thoughts?

I do mean the source directories. Command line completion is what 
prompted this random thought. I would prefer to go one level deeper and 
have fewer possible completions, but it's purely preference. It will 
take many more plugins to cause an organizational issue, if at all.

Do you mean the source directories or the deployment directories.

Assuming you mean the src directories I have no problem with things as
they are since command line completion solves all my problems and
having to go one directory lower is more of a pain to me.

That being said, I am only -0 on the idea.
