Minimum PHP Version?

[shawn_a]

The entire plugin system needs to be rewritten from scratch I think.
And it is worth rewriting.

There is a ton of stuff on github about plugin requirements.
Dependencies being a major one.

Plugins that depend on other plugins or extend other plugins.

Plugins that register assets or libraries for other plugins

Settings plugins like theme settings etc

Global namepsacing is a issue,

Plugins must be included to be registered , is a problem, there is discussion of a manifest file.

There is discussion of plugins being inside sub folders and not php files.
