Before going into technical details, can you please elaborate on what
additional use of this patchset might have in the syslog-ng OSE
context? 

If I understand correctly it introduces the concept of
per-destination-driver plugins, so that queue initialization can be
delegated to a plugin (e.g. disk based queueing).

Can you perhaps shed some light on what other use-cases this could
solve?
