Another thing we might want to consider once we have a robust extension mechanism is to move some things out of the backend into extensions. Candidates could be uuid, legacy geometry types, inet/cidr, for example. These extensions would still be available and probably installed by default, but they need not be hardcoded into the backend.
Presumably would help the prospective upgrader too. Upgrade tool can't cope with the change to inet types? No problem, I *know* they're not in use, since they're not loaded.
