Hi :)
Hmmm, i was thinking of the official ones covering certain fairly commonly used functionality and 
the 3rd party ones tending to go for interesting oddities.  But if a 3rd party one was directly 
competing with an official one and doing it better then it would be great to have some mechanism 
for it to swap places and become the official one.  

Anyway, all this is idle speculation.  Possibly a great idea in theory but unlikely to happen.  
Regards from
Tom :)

There could be a core group of Extensions/Add-ons that are maintained as part of the program.  
Official add-ons.  Then a bunch of 3rd party or experimental ones.  Encourage all to be made as 
OpenSource so that if/when the original maintainer vanishes then others could take over.

This assumes there will be someone interested in taking the extensions over.

If you were at 3rd party developer, how would you feel about competing 
with "official" add-ons, especially if the one you wrote was superior? 
If it's not official, maybe there's something wrong with it.
