Well, that was my first thought - and there already exists patches to do exactly this. Then I heard, that that kind of extension was undesired in the vdr. May be, because a buggy plugin could prevent the vdr from shutdown? Using the mode of operation, a plugin could query and change the state, but the vdr stays beeing the master and could overwrite the mode of operation at any time. Hope I understood the things right.
