Description of Feature category:

> Discussion about features or potential features of Discourse: how they work, why they work, etc.

Description of Extensibility category:

> Topics about extending the functionality of Discourse with plugins, themes, add-ons, or other mechanisms for extensibility.

### Scenario 1

I have this great new feature idea for Discourse, but I’m proposing it as something that should be made as a plugin because I have no desire to see it added to core, ever.

_Where should I post?_

### Scenario 2

I have posted to the Feature category about a suggested new core feature for Discourse but the general consensus of the thread is that this feature should exist as a plugin.

_Should the thread be moved?_

I think either place is fine. Extensibility is more of a dev topic to me, with specifics about implementation.
