I agree that PLUG should not *favor* a particular distribution. At the same 
time, I don't see why PLUG couldn't be the LoCo group without *becoming* 
(solely) the LoCo group. The LoCo group would exist as a sort of subset of 
PLUG. Then again, if the LoCo group needs to formally exist, it can't be a 
part of PLUG because, as we all (should) know, PLUG doesn't actually exist. ;)
