None in principle, on the contrary, not sure it can be done in practice thought. The reason we don't have a GDAL extension atm is that the image mosaic plugin is carrying over the GDAL dependencies in core, and I think it might not work properly if they are not around (but I'm not sure, Simone/Daniele will correct me). The reason I've not complained about this (because, yes, it dodged the usual module graduation process, so there was actually something to complain about) is basically because the GDAL support lays dormant up until you install the native libraries and make them available to the JVM. That's quite close to having to install a normal extensions, just that you' don't have to modify GeoServer, but the runtime instead. Opinions?
