Same here.  One-file-per-extension is too strongly biased to tiny
extensions (like most of our contrib examples).

I don't have a real strong opinion on whether it's too late to
push this into v11.  I do not think it'd break anything other than
packagers' lists of files to be installed ... but it does seem
like a new feature, and we're past feature freeze.
