There's no plan, yet, except in my head.  When someone comes along and
asks me to implement the plan, then I'll get more concrete...

Basically, there ought to be a documented interface (what a concept!)
between the front-ends and the back-ends, and, in my opinion, it ought
to be possible to distribute front-ends as plug-ins for this
interface.

We are talking very pie-in-the-sky here; this is not happenning any
time soon.
