IMHO, generators that proved to be useful should be bundled with PCB. This
also applies to plug-ins. If this bothers the devs, a seperate goodie 
package might be an option. But ultimately, proven goodies should make it
into the main tree. There is no point in keeping them on a distance.

The necessesity to search the web for add-ons that provide features that 
improve usability and usefulness, is much worse than just an inconvenience. 
It constitutes a barrier to newbies and creates the image of a patchy suite.
