The extended uuid libraries should only go in pgfoundry/contrib.
I second that.
+1. If there's enough user demand we can look at adding the type to
core (I don't see any real advantage to contrib over pgFoundry for
this). I'm not sure if it makes sense to add a generic 16 byte RAW to
core, either. I'd *much* rather see effort expended on a generic RAW
type which had it's size defined as part of the type and didn't use
varlena.
