My goal is to remove non-plugin libraries dependencies on plugins. Today, Target depends on the ProcessUtility plugin because of UnixSignals. If Signals were their own plugin that could be accessed through the PluginManager interface, that dependency would go away. As Pavel said, this feels somewhat over engineered and contrived, but it is the simplest path forward. I am willing to drop this patch and go for a different solution if there is a nicer solution agreed upon by the community, so an RFC sounds like a nice idea. :)
