I would offer a suggestion. I would love to see two different tarballs offered. One that is ONLY MediaWiki and another with bundled extensions.
This makes a lot of sense. I'll release RC3 with a "core" version and one with the bundled extensions.
If Mark includes the ShortURL and MathJax to the tarball, this will be great. I suspect, many users, like me, cannot install the extensions by themselves, and we have to learn the software, instead of to be just users. The idea of Mediawiki is to release the people from the need to learn PHP, HTML, JAVA, MySQL, Apache, etc. The bare version is already avialable through the git; if Mark adds the ShortURL and MathJax to the tarball, then I'll have no need to learn the PHP and Apache!
