Jokosher has been cutting edge for a lot of things. It has almost become 
an unofficial policy to do things no one else is doing because we think 
its the proper way. Things like gstreamer-ladspa integration come to 
mind, and certainly telepathy integration has never been attempted in 
the way that we want to, but so far that hasn't stopped us from trying. 
I would rather Jokosher _is_ the first test case, since we can make it 
an optional dependency.

Extensions/presets are already stored in the users home directory, so 
that will not be a problem.

Exactly. If we decide this is the way we want to go, there is absolutely 
no reason why we should wait on others to do it first.
