Yeah. We *must not* simply give up on extensibility and decide that

I've been thinking about this a bit. Right now there isn't anything
outside of core that seems to work well. PGXN was supposed to be our
CPAN equivalent, but it doesn't seem to have worked out that way, it
never really got the traction.
Yeah. Can we analyze why it hasn't done better? Can we improve it
rather than starting something completely new?
This should probably all be in a different thread. But yeah, I think a
bit more analysis of the problem is needed before jumping into action.
