[Bf-committers] Add-ons in Blender for commercial services

[Thomas Dinges]

2 points speak against this:

1) Octane is commercial. There would be no benefit for the majority of 
Blender users (like >99% I bet) , because they don't have a commercial 
Octane license.
The plugin is not just Python code, it's a lot of C++ code which would 
also make the binary bigger.

2) The Plugin is still in beta and the code (I got a copy from Otoy), 
still needs quite some cleanups imo.

On a side note, we also don't bundle Luxrender, Yafaray... plugins (I 
don't know the reasons for that though).
