Hi there,
it's clear we need versions, probably, major.minor would be enough. The problem
I see is how to keep .so in sync with .sql ? Should we store .sql in database ?
Also, we need permissions for extension, since we have open/closed
extensions.

We *absolutely* need version numbers in extensions. People will want
to have a certain version, or a certain minimum version, etc., etc.,
etc., just as they do for any other software.
Seriously, are you OK?
One of the biggest mistakes in the creation of CPAN was allowing modules
without extensions. It makes figuring out what to upgrade extremely difficult.
Learning from that, PGXN requires version numbers for all extensions.
Best,
