-Implementation steps
-====================
-
-A rough plan of how to make the above document the reality of how Mopidy
-extensions work.
-
-1. Implement :class:`mopidy.utils.ext.Extension` base class and the
-   :exc:`mopidy.exceptions.ExtensionError` exception class.
-
-2. Switch from using distutils to setuptools to package and install Mopidy so
-   that we can register entry points for the bundled extensions and get
-   information about all extensions available on the system from
-   :mod:`pkg_resources`.
-
-3. Add :class:`Extension` classes for all existing frontends and backends. Skip
-   any default config and config validation for now.
-
-4. Add entry points for the existing extensions in the ``setup.py`` file.
-
-5. Rewrite the startup procedure to find extensions and thus frontends and
-   backends via :mod:`pkg_resouces` instead of the ``FRONTENDS`` and
-   ``BACKENDS`` settings.
-
-6. Remove the ``FRONTENDS`` and ``BACKENDS`` settings.
-
-7. Add default config files and config validation to all existing extensions.
-
-8. Switch to ini file based configuration, using :mod:`ConfigParser`. The
-   default config is the combination of a core config file plus the config from
-   each installed extension. To find the effective config for the system, the
-   following config sources are added together, with the later ones overriding
-   the earlier ones:
-
-   - the default config built from Mopidy core and all installed extensions,
-
-   - ``/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf``,
-
-   - ``~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf``,
-
-   - any config file provided via command line arguments, and
-
-   - any config values provided via command line arguments.
-
-9. Replace all use of ``mopidy.settings`` with the new config object.
-
-10. Add command line options for:
-
-   - loading an additional config file for this execution of Mopidy,
-
-   - setting a config value for this execution of Mopidy,
-
-   - printing the effective config and exit, and
-
-   - write a config value permanently to ``~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf``, or
-     ``/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf`` if root, and exit.
-
-11. Reimplement ``--list-deps`` based upon information provided by extensions.
