Should the addon releases forum be separated into part and plugin-based mods?

[MedwedianPresident]

Please discuss the following proposal here:

The Addon Releases forum will be separated into Plugin and Part-based Addon Releases Forums to serve as a content topic framework for both downloaders and developers. The categorization will occur depending on whether a plugin or major game alteration forms the core of the mod or it primarily consists of spacecraft parts.

Discussion of a fairly closely related nature here:

Executive summary works out to be "no" because,

1. "don't fix it if it ain't broke", and
2. categories are hard, and
3. sorting out the existing list would be an unreasonably huge amount of work

1. I can see no obvious benefit to your proposal, what is the advantage?
2. Many mods consist of both parts and plugins. Where would the following mods be categorized, for example:
   • Scansat
   • Mechjeb
   • Near Future
