The core team isn't appropriate for this. We'd start a new

No, it would not be distributed with core at all. They could all be
packaged up together in a single distribution of recommended modules,
however.
This may not be necessary if simple download-unzip-and-install is
simple enough.
I hope it'll get simple enough, yes, as simple as current PGXS
modules from source are:
- cvs up or wget
- tar xzf ... && cd ...
- make install
- psql -f ... mydb
Then it could also be easily scripted, too.
PGXS has it covered, and we're not yet there, but I'm thinking PGXS
should be a pre requisite of the extension facility as far as
extensions authors are concerned. Then packagers will make it so
that users won't typically face those details.
+1.
Best,
David
