The evolution of Winamp, and the possible demise of Wasabi

Reference this post. I'll dispense with the pleasantries. Winamps 2 and 3 will be merged, and we're trying to work out what plugin/component system will be optimal. Wasabi will not be discontinued, but Winamp won't be based on it, apart from the skinning stuff.

Would you be prepared to switch back to a more Winamp2-style plugin system?
If there was to be a new component system, what would you change?
What would be most language-independent?

No flaming. Just good, clear, concise argument. Go.

For long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide, and balanced on the biggest wave you race towards an early grave. \|Musicbrainz\|Audioscrobbler\|last.fm\|
