 Yes, it looks like it. Some people might want to have a library of
'base map' projects which other people reference as inclusions via the
core code, others might just want to pull some layers out of their own
projects with my plugin to save them having to find the source and set
up styling. Win win :)

 I suppose I should use this plugin of mine as an excuse to work out
how the new Qgis plugin repo system works...
