All this looks good, but it’s not clear when this patch will be merged and repos are created.
So the question is what should we do with the current spec made in fuel-specs[1,2] which are targeted for plugins?
And how will look development process for plugins added to 6.1 roadmap? 
Especially for plugins came not from external vendors and partners. Will we create separate projects on the Launchpad and duplicate our 
For now I’m not sure if we need to wait for new infrastructure created in stackforge/launchpad for each plugin and follow the common 
procedure to land current plugins to existing repos during 6.1 milestone.
