Just so I am following here… Is the idea to do away with “plugins”, should everything be a module going forward? I want to put together a hyrule validation package, this should be a module correct?
I would look at it this way.
A module is something that is used in the Application to provide user features.
A Plugin is something that is used to add extra functionality to the application, and for the developer to use.
That is probably a bit basic in description, but should explain the difference.

so hyrule should be a plugin ?
I think a plugin is a good approach.
Will it have any visual aspects or purely code?
nothing visual, purely code…
Andrew it doesn’t make sense to have this part of the core, I am going to make some updates to the project and I will make it easy to plugin to your apps.

Well, it can be either a module or a plugin, remember that the advantage of the module is that it can also be a plugin but with the added feature of the ModuleConfig.cfc.
So your module can by hyrule that adds the hyrule plugin plus the configuration. I would evaluate both aproaches and see which one would be more flexible to add to apps with ease of use.
