Yes, I agree, as plugins. Many of those mockups have a valid
functionality disguised by lots of eyecandy. Things like mosaic
creation, print layouts, and domain-specific edition tools (like
facial touch-ups) would be great plugins, but they are too narrow in
usage to be included in the main program (they would quickly become
bloat).

IMO, if added, they should follow the GUI conventions of the host
program (F-Spot), and not look like an application within an
application.
