Naming and naming conventions aren't trivialities.
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.
