I think we were going to try to group the extensions into categories
(debugging tools, demonstration code, data types, etc.) and maybe
encourage packagers to put the debugging tools in the same OS package
as the core server. But Tom was not supportive, and he was at the
time the packager for Red Hat, so it didn't seem like we were going to
get to far with it.
