Data compatibility issues from potential outdated or unavailable plugins are more of an end user issue are they not? As of right now, if I am relying on a plugin only compatible with 4.27, and want to upgrade to 5.0, isn’t it up to me to upgrade it if the author isn’t? I’m not trying to argue the point, but I believe being able to create new BSDFs via plugins could open up an entire world of potential possibilities in engine and marketplace plugins/content. These plugins should be treated the same as plugins are now, only for their stated engine version.
