I thought the point was to make the extensibility features of PostgreSQL more
usable so people would be more inclined to use them.  The assumption being
that the problem is not finding things but the hesitation against
using "unofficial" things.  Moving everything to the main blob of things
seems to go against that idea.

So perhaps some market research is required to clarify the actual requirements
and goals.
