The Tcl history tells me that you are right in many cases. However,
there are already binary extensions that can work with different
Tcl/Tk versions (such as new canvas item types).

Anyway, it is a design decision whether you allow to install
extensions independent from the Tcl version or not and I guess that
John will come up with a good solution (like in so many other cases
before).
