   I've been thinking the same thing.
   
   In the **next major** (cordova-android@8) we should:
   * Print a visible warning for each plugin that needs its paths remapped, maybe with a link to the issues page for that plugin (if it exists in plugin.xml)
     (Note: only one warning per plugin, not one warning per remapped file!)
   * Print a single visible error/warning that the project is using plugins that will not be compatible with future versions of Cordova-Android
   
   In the **next next major** (cordova-android@9) we should:
   * Remove support for the path remapping
   * Maybe try to detect cases where we know path remapping is needed and print a visible error that the plugin is not compatible
   
   For the next major, we should also make sure all of our core plugins have been updated to not need remapping
