I think this will make life harder for RCP developers. You cannot just
pick a plugin, add it to your product and expect that it will show. Or
vice versa you cannot just take a product and add yourself to it. It
seems that the product or the plugin have to know about each other by
their ID's.
I'm not sure how this could be improved in e4 but I believe the
hard-coded placeholders are Eclipse 3.x, e.g. org.eclipse.ui.menus,
were easier to use and did allow a looser coupling between the
components.
