I feel a bit uncomfortable in deciding this on my own, though I think
it would be OK: We don't add the binaries directly and as you said,
all plugins should be free software (maybe not fully bootstrappable).

I'm adding Ludo and Ricardo in CC, I think they are more authoritative
in giving a final answer.
