Yes, possible, but I wonder if the added bloat justifies. Every
extension installed adds a small performance impact upon every page
load, because extensions are included from LocalSettings.php.
In this specific case, I think that adding a configuration variable to
MediaWiki would make more sense: it is a very simple change that would
have almost no impact.
That is discussed in bug 671:
