De-extensionization likely also means it cant be packaged as a separate package
anymore. In the long run it likely makes sense to merge often used features in
LibreOffice if the implementation isnt huge. Wiki-publisher is somewhat
cringe-inducing with 3.5MB size increase in the default install for a likely
rarely used feature.
OTOH, the hope is that de-extensionization might actually allow closer
integration to reduce this footprint(*).
The easiest approach to de-extension-alization (cool word, eh?) is of
course to tightly integrate the code into an existing module. However,
if there are good reasons to keep the thing separate (e.g., because it
would drag in inappropriate dependencies), then there is no reason not
to do so (as has e.g. be done when de-extension-alizing PDF import).
