do not assume that any of these are acceptable until the core members 
give you word that a certain methods would be considered for inclusion. 
the comments otherwise made here could be from contributors and may not 
be accepted for inclusion in the official plugin.
as far as I'm aware, non of the supported official plugins keep state in 
any way, I'm guessing this might be the intention.
some of the plugins in contrib like log file monitoring etc, do keep 
state as they need to, and from what I've seen, do so in files.
I've seen that the plugins tarball has a contribs directory with contrib 
modules, which perhaps aren't official, but are distributed, maybe your 
chances of getting this plugin into contrib would be better, I'm not sure.
