Comment (by exarkun):

 Another advantage of an out-of-process "plugin" is that Tahoe-LAFS
 basically claims there is no public Python API for the project.  The
 plugin interface itself is effectively public, though - and to actually
 _implement_ the plugin requires interacting with an arbitrary amount of
 other Python APIs in the process.  An out-of-process "plugin" would have
 an easily specified interface that is already public - Great Black Swamp -
 and not have to depend on any Python APIs.
