True, it was asked as a more general question. The wiki says that "Be
aware that the IdP uses the same plugin mechanism as custom extensions
do in order to provide default implementations of the extension
points. The only difference is that the files for those extensions are
included in the IdP's jars instead of a separate one for the custom
extension." [1]

I asked the question more or less to get confirmation about the above
statement from the wiki that it still holds true, but my mistake, it
was to vague.

Thank you for taking the time to look in to it. It's the same
conclusion more or less that we have done.
