My understanding is that we wanted to promote some extensions as being
"core extensions" and change the directory and documentation layout to
encourage packagers to rethink they work.
And my understanding of Tom's reaction is that he didn't believe the
source directory layout has anything to do with the packaging problem,
we should just document the extensions we want installed by default and
packagers will know to follow us there.
Still, *something* needs to be done here.
