Note that a large part of current JOSM base functionality before was
in plugins. So, doesn't make sense to diminish some tool because it
isn't in base. Whether some code goes into JOSM or stays as plugin is
driven by two things: 1) number of plugin users 2) willingness of plugin
author to yield his code to JOSM repo, meaning disown his code. And
for many people that also means lose commit access to their code.
