the technical reasons would be us creating an admin area to handle plugin installation/removal in PHP.
Aside from time (that's a limitless resource, right?
), it sounds like that would be very much worth doing. Given how much people seem to have been anticipating the PHP Links SQL release and how little discussion there has been in that forum since, I would venture to guess the lack of a plugin system has been a major deterring factor.

You can still do "plugins" in the old sense (how most other sites handle things, just inserting php code into the original).
Aren't all the plugins written in Perl currently? That would mean having to re-write everything in order to customize one's templates.
I guess I'm a bit confused by why the plugin system isn't currently supported in the PHP version. I suppose there are plugins that apply to the user-side templates, but many of the behind the scenes plugins seem to be admin related (as far as I know, all admin functions are still Perl). Couldn't the Perl plugin system still work in that case? If anyone wants to customize their templates further, they could then do that on their own...
Am I making any sense?
