<div>Sure, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>first thing is to clarify what we mean for "including a
plugin in core", with that I mean that the plugin is
integrated in the same github repository of QGIS C++ main
code.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The inclusion of resource sharing plugin in core was
already discussed a few years ago and at that time I was in
favor of it and other developers were not, over the years I
switched side too and I'm not in favor anymore, to tell you
the truth, I would probably remove ALL other Python plugins
from the main QGIS repository except for plugin manager.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The reason? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Because there is really no need to have them in the same
repository and because I see no reason why the release cycle
of python plugin must follow the same release cycle of QGIS
itself (see the endless stream of bugs in DB manager,
wouldn't be easier if we could make DB manager a rolling
release that people can upgrade/downgrade like any other
plugin?).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From a core developer perspective, I'd like to see almost
only C++ code in the main repository and let the Python
plugins be maintained by a broader community, which doesn't
mean that Python plugins must be abandoned or are a less
important than the rest, on the contrary, I'm very much in
favor of having a few selected plugins maintained and
administered by the largest possible QGIS community.<br>

<p>There are also usability advantages of a C++ implementation of
resource sharing will be that it can be much tighter integrated,
for example allowing to download additional symbols directly from
the symbol selector without closing modal windows and switching to
a separate dialog where styles are managed.<br>
