This has been discussed. That looks like a good idea but need some
changes in the core product (and the protocol?)

Anyway, we should decide what families are used for. I think they are
good to select or unselect a set of plugins.
Apart from DoS (which could be removed by an enhanced safe_checks, as
I said), I think that families are useful to find and enable or
disable a specific plugin, or to select a whole set, e.g Windows or
HTTP & CGI
