   From my perspective I think it makes the most sense to have a plugin "seed" its own capabilities somehow on TO startup, and to not allow updating/deleting/creating capabilities at runtime. It wouldn't make sense to me to have a plugin call the `POST /capabilities` API somehow, or to have an operator `POST /capabilities` manually in order for the plugin to work. Since plugins have direct DB access already, I think they should just `INSERT` the capabilities they provide on startup (if they don't already exist).
   
   At the end of the day though, we won't really know if we have a good solution for plugin capabilities unless someone out there actually implements a plugin that uses it.
