I'm not saying it can't be done, but it all depends on what can be allowed near the end result. Especially since 1.8 had mass load of updates that drove plugin authors nuts, then the news of 1.9 is another factor. Also, depends on the server specs to do the "big things", I may or may not be able to do certain features, but it would be nice to try.
Edit: Woah, more features!
