One concern I have as a user is that extras are not very discoverable without 
reading the source setup.cfg file. This can be addressed by improving 
installation docs to explain what the extras options are and why you might want 
to use them.

Another idea was to add a 'all' extras that installed all of the more fine 
grained extra's options. That way a user can just say give me all the features 
I don't care even if I can't use them all I know the ones I can use will be 
properly installed.

As for the CI jobs its just a matter of listing the extras in the appropriate 
requirements files or explicitly installing them.
