The final goal of ginger-basic is to handle only host basic information, 
host statistics and debug reports.
Those features were identified as common between Kimchi and Ginger so 
the need of a new plugin (ginger-basic).
You can check the other thread where we decided to do that in: 
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/kimchi-devel/2015-August/011173.html

The idea of this email in only clarify what we need to do as we've 
already had an agreement in the concept.

About the plugin name, you can suggest other one which may be better 
understood than ginger-basic - as you said it sounds to there is a 
ginger-advanced.
