Dang.

This may be one of those cases where the slow pace of change for
extensions shipped with PostgreSQL gives those of us who are
developers for PostgreSQL itself a sort of tunnel vision. The system
that we have in core works well for those extensions, which get a new
version at most once a year and typically much less often than that.
I'm not sure we'd be so sanguine about the status quo if we had 137
releases out there.
