Bzr has plugin autoloading, Protocol plugins, Repository format plugins,

absolutely anything.

But really why does any of that matter?  This is the open source world.
We don't need plugins to extend features, we just add the feature to
the source.  The example I asked about earlier is a case in point. 
Apparently in bzr "bisect" was implemented as a plugin, yet in Git it
was implemented as a command without any issue at all, no plugins
needed, and its compiled and runs at machine speed.
