Cobo: It handles mods in the same way quake2 does. You should be able to run most Quake2 mods on it. I have concerns about people making server side cheats, though, so I don't have the mod source available. It also seems kind of weird to have mods for a mod. And people's mods would constantly have to be updated/rewritten/recompiled when new versions of the official game are released (and more than likely, they wouldn't be, leaving old server versions running with potential exploits, etc. since they don't patch). Also, there's already starting to be a lot of debate about some of the basic settings, such as elimination time. Having various server mods that change the gameplay could further split the community.
Warlord: As mentioned, pak files are already supported. I personally think it's simpler to just have the files loose. It's easier to update specific files and you don't have to worry about clones/different versions of the files floating around in the same directory that are stored in paks. Naturally, several maps are packaged and distributed in zip files when they include custom textures. These can simply be extracted to the paintball2 directory.
