Hi :) Hmmm, i was thinking of the official ones covering certain fairly commonly used functionality and the 3rd party ones tending to go for interesting oddities. But if a 3rd party one was directly competing with an official one and doing it better then it would be great to have some mechanism for it to swap places and become the official one.
Anyway, all this is idle speculation. Possibly a great idea in theory but unlikely to happen.
