We should have a source plugin using Views:

source:
  plugin: views
  view_name: ad_hoc_data_listing
  arguments:
    - arg1
    - arg2

The greatest strength here would be ultimately being able to define migrations from arbitrary data entirely through the Drupal admin UI, using Views to construct a data query and the migration UI (TBD) to map the results from the UI to Drupal entities/fields.

I'm going to postpone this for now. Based on #2500547: Upgrade path for Views from Drupal 6 and 7.

Title: Views source plugin » Source plugin to retrieve data from views
Version: 8.x-2.x-dev » 8.x-4.x-dev
Status: Postponed » Active

This issue (retrieving data from views defined in the local D8 instance) is not dependent on a migration path for view configuration from D6/D7.
