my thought would not only be for the bundled extensions but for *everything* under skins/ and extensions/ to get a given REL branch when a release is set. It might mean that some extensions get a REL for a non-compatible branch but it would cover those extensions where devs forget to cut branches.
Devs don't have to remember to cut branches, I cut a REL1_* for all extensions & skins during the release cycle. They aren't retroactively done for new extensions or skins sure, but they should all be there.
I was talking more about putting the "bundled" ones (ie: those in the tarballs) as submodules of core release branches like we do for the wmf/* branches.
