We've heard this before, but I'm still quite skeptical about it. Quite 
apart from anything else we should keep enough extensions in core to 
test the extension mechanism, as well as to provide examples as part of 
the base distribution. Some (e.g. hstore and citext) should probably 
move into core. Others like pgcrypto are probably in just the right 
place as they are.

cheers
