Not completely. The long talked about intention is to expose
management primitives in the clients, upon which applications can be
built, including CLIs. The how and when of this is still up in the
air. In the interim, plugins are free to fill the gap, because they
can do whatever they want to. Also, in the future, it is likely that
plugins will still be required as a filtering/processing layer on top
the exposed management primitives.

rabbitmqctl was deliberately held as thin as possible, in order that
it remained the simplest possible implementation whilst actually still
being useful.
