While this may not be a relatively small change, there are *lots* of features that are "small changes". I'm assuming our tarball release process currently involves doing "svn export" on the phase3 directory of the release branch. After that, I have no idea what sort of post-processing (if any) we do (er, Tim does). Clearly, having some extensions in there is something that makes things a little more complicated. Probably not rocket science, but it is work. I would prefer that we have a plan and a developer lined up to do this work before saying this is something that we're going to do. Who is willing to take this on? I would very much prefer if this were a volunteer rather than a WMF staff member.
