Can I throw some more text to put at the end of this? I'd like to see
this become:

"By allowing plugins to be platform
specific we also open up the possibility to ship plugins which give
access to specific tools like the touch bar, a hardware piece that is
only available on mac, or which are designed to interface with a 3rd party
software tool which is only available on limited platforms (e.g. a
hypothetical plugin designed to utilise AutoCAD SDK functionality into
QGIS)"
