Summary: .config files should redirect for extensions
Initial Comment:
Keeping private extensions up to date with the latest WiX drop is a hassle, and
most often there are no breaking changes. To prevent this problem, the
"app.config" files (smoke.exe.config, for example)should redirect the binding
to the common WiX assemblies like wix.dll to the current version. So if an
extension requests build 2921.1 but wix.dll is build 2925.0, the extension will
still load (assuming no link errors).

Adding something like this to the config files should do it:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="wix"
publicKeyToken="**replace with keytoken**"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="3.0.0.0 - 3.0.65535.65535"
newVersion="3.0.3324.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

I'm not convinced that WiX should be using strong names at all.
