Actually your proposal is much easier to implement and the only real
downside is that distributions will have a harder time un-bundling it.
Not sure how big a deal that is.  But this approach is fine to me, it
would still allow for an optional bunch of setup.py trickery to skip
installing the vendored pluggy later if needed.
