Hi

One of reasons to get PL/proxy into core is to make it available to Windows users also.
The idea is to get to the situation

createlang plproxy mydb

If we can achieve this without putting plproxy into core then i would like to hear how.

You are merely setting up a straw man, as no one has suggested such a
policy.  Any specific decision of this type is going to involve a
combination of factors, and that's only one.
