As far as this discussion is concerned I personally think that there is 
just one way to satisfy everybody.
I we had a "PostgreSQL most wanted" distribution including PL/* as well 
as some other modules we could save people compiling PostgreSQL from 
source a lot of work.
The core itself would be cleaner (which is the target of moving things 
out) and everybody would be happy?
If people think this is a good idea I could compile and maintain this 
(source) distribution ...
Best regards,
