You know, I would be quite happy if we folded FFI into the base image. Seriously. For once I'd argue for _including_ something.

We should make it as simple to install as possible, but the temptation to use it for system-critical functions would just be too large if it is "always there", I'm afraid.
Controversial Proposal:
Drop all plugins, do _only_ FFI.
Suppose we add a new VM platform, like a VM running on JavaScript in the browser. Do you really want to re-implement all the C libraries utilized via FFI? Or rather a handful of primitives in your language of choice?
