I think that's the best idea yet. My application will be a -eh- "bigger"
one sometimes.

That's no problem. server side filtering in the app store.

Mh, not really. Look at Owncloud/Nextcloud. Is PHP, but a good example
that this works. My plans are similar.
But I'm convinced ATM that squeezing Django itself into a pluggable apps
evolvement isn't the best idea.

I'll go with plugins that are separate entities, although that means
that I have to reimplement migrations and module loading myself. But
everything else is easier then.
