  I wrote a post back in 2009 asking if something like what is bring described here is nothing but a pipe dream.

May be worth reading as well as the comments attached to the post. It's a topic and suggestion that keeps coming up but no one seems to know how to tackle without the intricate process of vetting one plugin against another. What happens if a plugin has been reviewed and flagged as awesome but a week later, has a security vulnerability discovered. Doesn't that make the whole system broke and worthless?
