I don't think that necessarily means it must continue to be in contrib.
Quite the contrary, I think it is a tool critical enough that it should
not be relegated to be a second-class citizen as it is now (let's face
it, being in contrib *is* second-class citizenship).
I have resisted that principle for years and will continue to do so.
It is entirely reasonable for some DBAs to want certain functionality
(debugging tools, crypto) to not be installed on their machines.
Folding everything into core is not a good policy, IMHO.
I don't understand. I'm just proposing that the source code for the
extension to live in src/extensions/, and have the shared library
installed by toplevel make install; I'm not suggesting that the
extension is installed automatically. For that, you still need a
superuser to run CREATE EXTENSION.
