Naming and naming conventions aren't trivialities.
Show me the convention for naming extensions and I will follow it. As long as there is none, spending time going back and forth discussing the name of something that users will never see is indeed spending time on a trivial matter.
The issue here is not a color of the bike shed problem. The issue is that almost everyone who has commented is in favor of getting rid of the bike shed and putting the bikes in the garage. The opposition to putting this extension (these extensions) in core seems to be largely focused on a lack of written process for when and when not to merge extensions into core.
That's an entirely different discussion, and the results of that discussion have so far been that any such action is being deferred until after 1.17.
