Well, you're right. CSL is not complete, and probably will not be for some
time, as adding a CSL driver for a platform without testing is virtually
impossible, thus we need to rely on third party contributions, there. I
however do hope that CSLs code quality in those parts that are completed is
good ; if not I'd really like to hear criticism on specific points.
The pluginable interface is planned ; maybe it will be completed for the
next release.

Its a practical consequence of the "one size doesn't fit all" rule of
software development. But that way you can have interoperability while still
having diversity.
