Hi, interesting point. I am not familiar with the term 'bloatware'.
One thing to keep in mind is there is one of me (who amoungst running a business and several websites) I have to support 5 off-the shelf plugins and over 20 or so custom ones. So each new plug-in costs me in time (not that I am against the idea), It may not be practical from my point of view.
Edit: I also think the rewards system ties in rather nicely with the user monitor code (as it in fact does with editor monitor). People who wanted both would be duplicating a fair amount of common code needlessly. Performace can be an issue (I understand) when you have many plug-ins installed (one of my sites has 10 or so plug-ins already). I would rather see 2 or 3 large ones from a webmasters point of view, as it may be easier to maintain and upgrade my site. Thats my 2 cents.
Thanks for the comments!
