Does everyone need this? Be careful with the notion of plugin: in reiser4 this is only to manage low-level data storage infrastructure.. That said, first, you should decide what (useful!) feature related to (low-level!) data storage do you want to implement, then think how to implement it in the plugin categories. Most likely you'll need to add new plugin(s) of existing or (unlikely) new interface. For example, in order to support (meta)data checksums you'll need a new node format, and, hence, new node plugin (the NODE interface already exists). All other "plugins" should go to vfs, or to various stackable (distributed) filesystems.
