This is actually [exactly what we ended up doing](https://github.com/openedx/openedx-filters/pull/90) to support external content in our b2b experience.

The challenge is what should be core and what is a plugin is a bit opaque right now.

Your [post back in March](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/a-minimal-open-edx-distribution/9478) around pulling Enterprise out of the platform is a similar conversation that doesn’t happen. Should the platform support external content and who makes that decision? Is the relationship between a learner and their organization/company valuable feature of the platform? As you said: “This sounds like a [Core Product](https://docs.openedx.org/projects/openedx-proposals/en/latest/processes/oep-0057-proc-core-product.html) question though so perhaps there isn’t yet an answer.”
