I can't really argue against the validity of providing some prefix for
yet-to-be-defined server-side extensions (by definitions, those don't yet exist
so I can't say if they're a good idea). Being able to configure such deployed
code is a good idea.
However, the original list of "examples" from the ticket ("list contact
information for a system owner or emergency contact, for display on a
monitoring site; add notes about last time a system was manually rebooted or
checked for healthy status.") is what bothered me. It seems like that really
isn't the intent of this change -- I'd suggest (like Keith already did) to make
this clear via the Property doc (and user manual).
