People are already using ISN (or at least ISBN) in production.  It's been 
around for 12 years.  So any step we take with contrib/ISN needs to take that 
into account -- just as we have with Tsearch2 and XML2.

One can certainly argue that some of the stuff in /contrib would be better on 
PGXN.  But in that case, it's not limited to ISN; there are several modules of 
insufficient quality (including intarray and ltree) or legacy nature which 
ought to be pushed out.  Probably most of them.
