Klaus Point is (until now):
- this wont go into a plugin 
- hand crafted database is enough

My point is:
- i want to have possibility for a choice with difference in
  behaviour/scale

If i remember well the DVB devices have been planned to be plugins as
well in the past - so how the cEIT scanner fits into the picture ? 

I dont want to put something i want down someone elses throat ... only
choice.
