well the extensions where we have the source code can be changed by volunteers. Maybe directly at Apache or as Google code project when there are license incompatible dependencies. Everything else is unclear and I doubt that Oracle has interest in updating them. And nobody else can do that. The best thing would be to start new projects providing similar functionality but where the code is available and under a proper license. Unmaintained extensions are a general problem and should not have influence on any decision.
