This argument completely misses the point. The

You're willing to say there are exactly *zero* fixes that would be
needed to be done in trunk and merged into 1.18 as a result of making
this change?
Trunk and 1.18 *and* 1.17 already have this ability; all that's required is
to drop some directories into the tarball, and they'll be available for
selection in the installer.
If any extension doesn't install & work successfully in this manner, don't
put it in the tarball.
