Some proposed GSoC projects may require creating new runcores with dynpmcs. Currently that is not possible but from the following conversation on #parrot, it seems that the groundwork is there:

{{{
dukeleto> whiteknight: what stands in the way up pluggable runcores right now?
whiteknight>	just hasn't been implemented, to my understanding
cotto and chromatic have done all the necessary encapsulation and prettification wok
chromatic>	We needed pluggable runcores to make the profiling runcore work, but we didn't need
dynloadable runcores so we didn't implement that.
whiteknight>	right, there wasn't a use-case until now
