Right. We are working on that and if it turns out to be always superior we can move to that model. So far, this model is superior to what we had, by a lot.

This is *not* CUDA specific at all, please do not move generic things into target sub-directories, that is counterproductive. If we have another plugin that want to opt-out/in, we can have hooks for that. As there is non we support right now, hooks are added on-demand later.
