Seems like a substantial change (even if the API was under the unstable flag) I think we should include it in the upcoming 1.12 release instead of the next patch release for 1.11

Is there any replacement in the works/planed?

Would a pr adding classic C ffi support (dlopen, dlsym, dlerror, dlclose) be welcome or should i wait for deno 2.0? Removing plugin support also removes the possibility to do native calls which is a thing which can be very useful for everything from webview support, native windowing for WebGPU, fast cpu optimized code and lots of other cool things. I think removing plugins would put deno at a disadvantage in many use cases to node and the napi.
