Loadable dynamics modules maybe are not so important for existing
features of squid3 (HTCP,ICAP or SNMP), but they are important to allow
people/companies to extend squid.
The eCAP interface sounds really a good idea. Also maybe there are
others parts of squid which can extended in such way (eg ACLs ...)
Just some personal opinions:
I am watching closely squid at least the last 2 years and I had see
how difficult is for squid to get funds for its developments. I think it
is easier for the squid project to get money from people/companies which
creating/sell solutions based on squid than from the end users (Adrian
try hard every day in squid-users mailing list but ...).

Christos
