The Scripting system is already partially placed into the executable in 2.7. Only the most dynamic code (code that is bound to be updated frequently) is placed outside in a separate plugin.
What Eric wants to do upsets me. He basically wants to replace the plugin system with an older system (scripts are instead loaded from a folder, and not managed by the plugin system currently)
I, in a way, do respect the current plugin system in a way; just, there are bugs with it too.
