Swapping to some other plugin extension point mechanism has to bear in mind that plugins are already using the current mechanism and just swapping means that ALL presumably need releasing for anything to work. 1.0 branch uses some plugins that are also used by 1.1 branch. Consequently choosing the timing for such a change has to consider all of these facts, and people offering their time to do the actual release.

Status of this ? Amount of work involved in the changeover ?
Could be part of an AccessPlatform 2.0 if defined

Presumed not being worked on. DN AP 2.0 would have been the perfect place to do this FWIW
