[gdal-dev] Call for review and discussion on RFC96: Deferred in-tree C++ plugin loading

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I've revised a bit the RFC 
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/8648/commits/b7053db2f433275edf16286596e71f3ceb9738a5) 
to unify the way the plugin driver proxy and the actual driver declare 
their metadata. This avoids the new GDALPluginDriverFeatures class, and 
will limit the risk of omissions or inconsistencies between the proxy 
and actual drivers.
