Hmm, I don't think the plugin system will cause a decrease in hack releases.
The product system makes creation, distribution and support of Hacks so much easier than before.
With vBulletin 3.0 for example, I didn't release many of my Hacks - simply because it would have meant writing intensive instructions and dealing with a lot of wrong file edits, queries, etc.
Such mistakes now won't happen, the time to make a hack releasable drastically gets cut down.
vBulletin 3.5 final has been out since less than a month, yet there are already 470 (!) Hacks available here; vBulletin 3.0 currently has 1.100 - and is available since 1 1/2 years.
