[Cuis-dev] Blueprint – May 2026 update

[Ezequiel Birman]

One of the things I'd like to come out of this exchange, is a more serious
discussion about how to facilitate Cuis extensibility with something less
hairy than the current way of doing this sort of thing in Cuis. I'm
thinking of something that resembles more of what, I believe, is usually
called a microkernel + plug-ins architecture pattern, which is more or less
adequately described in Buschmann et al.’s Pattern-Oriented Software
Architecture
