Do you think it is important detail?
I thought bundles live and die on macs.. so why caring putting it there?
For iOS, we can use absolutely different layout , and for non-mac
platforms it is completely unrelated...

I don't know much about bundle convention(s).. but to what i have
seen, they look a bit arbitrary
(i browsed multiple .app bundles).

So, if you (and others) think plugins should be under MacOS subdir, it
will be easy to change that,
before we put VM in use.
