Dynamic modules will be the best thing since sliced bread. I have wanted to use a StatsD plugin for metrics but having to manually compile has kept me from doin

  Sounds like you should be automating more stuff, there is little reason compiling something like nginx should cause technical debt. Especially since nginx versions in stable distros are usually really old versions, and when it comes to security take a while to get patched up.

    While thats true that it could be more automated, its a whole lot easier to automate an "apt-get install nginx-statsd" than manually compiling and having to make sure it doesn't break between versions. Basically I don't want to "own" the process.

      It's like the old joke: New linux users use the default kernel of a distro because it 'just works', power users compile their own kernel to get every drop of performance, and senior users use the default kernel because it 'just works'...

        Yup, plus you get the benefit of thousands of other people running the exact same setup which helps report/fix bugs.
