Hey there, thanks for helping to improve Mycroft!

You've been added to our list of excellent humans!

We've recently added a plugin system so that services like this can exist independently of mycroft-core which means that we're no longer adding new engines to core itself. If anything we want to pull out the ones remaining in core into their own plugins.

Using a plugin system for components like STT engines has a few benefits. It reduces the footprint of core and makes it more modular - where people only need to install the components they intend to use. Also as an independent Python package it can be updated independently of core.

In terms of the code, the shift is pretty minimal. We've got some documentation about the new system here: https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/mycroft-technologies/mycroft-core/plugins

If you have any trouble getting it to work please shout out.

In the meantime I'm going to close this PR, but feel free to ask questions here or in Chat.
