This was simply a first pass at high level design.  Discussions are
welcome on what additional features or requirements there are.  At the
moment, plugins are sort of a nebulous concept (at least to me).  I
don't have a firm hold on what's going to be required by various vendors
or the end-users.  We can add this as a topic for the node meeting
tomorrow.  

As for this specific request, I'm not familiar with what ESXi does, but
it sounds like it is something we could look at longer term.
