Will we still be able to write plugins for Creative Cloud for InDesign and Dreamweaver?

Our company writes custom plugins for InDesign and Dreamweaver. Will that still be possible with these Creative Cloud apps? Will updates from CC require a reinstallation of the plugin or will it continue to work?

Those are good questions.
Sadly I know some third party developers already abandoned development when CS6 launched and the new plugin architecture came into play. Given the now standard versioning releases and updates pushed to consumers decided upon by Adobe for the Creative Cloud subscriptions how will third party development and testing of application add-ons work going forward and what does Adobe have in place for this to assist and ensure developers moving forward with new releases. Similar to their own recent Creative Cloud Connection debacle, can developers be assured Adobe wont also break third party plugin compatibilities? Is there a testing and versioning framework system in place for developers for use with each new release of the Creative Cloud? Is a workflow for developers in place?
