There are two downsides for contrib rather than src/bin. First, maintainance and user trust are easier done and achieved in src/bin. Second, a lot of users won't install contribs in their production server and will then miss the tool when they need it most. In some places getting new software installed on a certified production setup is not easy. I would agree to get that piece in contrib if we were to work again on separating contribs into "production monitoring and diagnosis", "production ready extra" (hstore) and the rest, basically.
