Pluggable does not mean "as a plugin". As a user, you won't be given any choice in the matter (short of not installing the application at all of course).
Right - I meant if I don't need/install Netflix for example, the DRM plug won't be on my phone. So yeah - I might get Netflix bundled on VZW phone but I have a choice to go with another one that doesn't ship with it.

There is no "DRM plug". "Pluggable DRM framework" means Google just provides an architecture to implement their actual DRM, instead of forcing developers to use Google's own DRMs. Nothing more, nothing less. Your declarations hardly make sense.
I don't understand what you are arguing here. Quoting from the docs - Android 3.0 includes an extensible DRM framework that lets applications manage protected content according to a variety of DRM mechanisms that may be available...
All I am saying is it would still be possible for me to buy a Android device whose maker doesn't implement any DRM at all. Or do you happen to know something that I don't and Google is planning to provide a default mandatory DRM for Android that everyone must carry?
