In tree would foster more committers which is a good thing. But I also agree
that not being able to actually run unit tests is a bad thing. What if we asked
people who want to contribute these types of optimizations to provide the ASF

I think the status quo is insufficient - even if it doesn't go in tree, we
should do more than just say "the API exists, ship your own jar"
What's the real risk of having it in tree? We break it because nobody can test
it? How's that any worse than breaking it outside the tree? Finger pointing?
I agree the plugins route is the safest and best. However, we already have
platform-specific code in-tree that is semi-unmaintained: the Windows
support. To Sylvain's point, I have little to no idea if I'm going to break
the Windows builds as I don't have access to a Windows machine, nor are we

I’m with Sylvain on this for essentially same reasons.
If we need to improve our extensibility here, we should do that, and then have
niche platform specific code
be an external plug-in (and add a link to the plug-in to our docs, to promote
it).
