I think many users would be grateful of having additional libraries/plugins like this. Whilst not necessarily part of the core, having them logged and available from prototype.js (with all the usual test cases) would be a nice idea.
Libraries/snippets could/would have peer review for conforming to "best practice" for using prototype. The alternative is that a lot of this sort of stuff is on a hundred different servers and no validation on which version of prototype things work with. I would say that whoever wrote the library has the responsibility of keeping it upto date with the current prototype. Tests can should be run to confirm that the library works and ensures compatibility.
