A filesystem WITH plugins must still handle the standard Linux compatibility stuff that other filesystems handle.Plugins --do not-- mean that you can just change the filesystem format willy-nilly, with zero impact.
They --do-- mean that you can change much of the filesystem behavior without requiring massive on-disk changes or massive interface changes.
After all, this is how many FUSE plugins work -- standard FS interface, usually uses another standard FS as storage, but does crazy things like compression, encryption, and other transformations in between.
