Can a branch be simply a plugin, or should I close (soon) the melt-branch

Apparently, nothing very special is required to start a new branch. So I
intend to create a new melt-plugin-branch in a few hours (or days), unless
there is some objections to it;I will progressively move code from the
current MELT branch melt-branch into this melt-plugin-branch to make MELT a
big plugin.
Also, does such a thing should be called a branch. After all, it is not a
derivative of an existing trunk! Maybe it should be called something
different!
I do not think that plugins should be branches of trunk, nor should
they live in the FSF repository.
I thought on the contrary that is was expected that some code would
become FSF owned plugins?
BTW, since MELT is a branch, its code is FSF owned. So to become a
plugin, it should be an FSF owned plugin!
In other words, are plugins only for code outside of GCC?
Regards.
