Add a Plugin from a Non-paid Appian community site?

Question

Is it possible to add a Plugin from a Non-paid community site?

You'd have to contact Appian Support / Community Edition Support and ask them to deploy it for you (if it's possible for them). 
 This raises a good point as I feel it's a missed opportunity that they don't provide some easy way to self-deploy under-development plugins on our Community Edition sites, since then they could very easily function as a true alternative to local installations, since they'd be able to handle the "plug-in development" use case. 
 For instance, on my locked-down corporate computer, I'd never be able to install all the software necessary to do a local Appian install, so if I'm ever faced with the prospect of needing to develop a novel plug-in, I'll be stuck.
