Hello, Although I'm not sure how much my 2 cents weigh, I would like to say that I would really enjoy this feature.

This is why they are suggesting that code in 'extras' meet their own requirements (or at least most of them), but Zend themselves cannot support due to it's size. I look at this the same way that many Linux distributions have 'official' packages that they support, then they have extras that are in the repository, but they don't support (as in Ubuntu and Universal). I think that it is a wonderful idea, because it allows us developers to get a lot more features that will most likely be pretty well tested, but maybe not pristine. I would think that extending the Zend Framework would be a hassle if there is no way for the community to distribute their own contributions through the help of Zend.
