Personally I use the config-time PG_TEST_EXTRA extensively. I'd be sad
to see it go, especially if developers are no longer forced to use it.
(In practice, I don't change that setting much after initial
configure, because I use separate worktrees/build directories for
different patchsets. And the reconfiguration is fast when I do need to
modify it.)
