I don't understand how this helps.  You can't write DWARF (or other lldb 
plugins) w/o both exporting the API that those plugins are supposed to 
implement (which should properly go in the `plugins` namespace whatever we call 
it), but also all of other API's in lldb_private that come along for the ride.  

So if you want to make an external plug-in that uses lldb's private plugin 
making machinery, you're going to have to export more than just what would be 
in the "plugin API" per se.  So I don't think you really gain anything by 
putting it at the top level.

And if we do come up with a supported API for plugins, lldb_plugins is the most 
obvious name for the API, so I'd like not to commandeer that for this purpose 
if we can avoid it.
