What would be the added responsibilities for cordova-paramedic?
I am all about deleting code, but if we are simply reshuffling
responsibilities then we are really not gaining/losing anything.

Originally, and metaphorically ...
'medic' was the hospital and 'paramedic' was the ambulance.
To elaborate, for those who don't get metaphors
medic was meant to test all the things
paramedic was meant to quickly test any simple combo of a plugin+platform

Substantial code was added to paramedic to support some other use cases
(Appium,Sauce,...), but I would still REALLY like to prevent us turning
paramedic into a behemoth travelling hospital ... it may already be too
late though.
