And what if I want some models/views/controllers for dev vs. live?
I wouldn't want to rely on config to do that either. But I get the point.

I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive either. If you don't
want to use the Plugins directory, don't put anything in it, and use
config instead....and vice versa.
