Some of these extensions enable either dangerous commands or commands
with a bad track record of bugs. For example:
* The 'purge' extension can delete useful files from a workspace, so
it should be always opt-in, not enabled by default.
* The 'inotify' extension has a slightly bad track record of bugs, and
it can cause a few WTF moments.
* The 'imerge' extension was broken for recent crew versions, so it
may break personal installations of the crew branch.
Debian should not blindly enable all these extensions, IMO. It is more
than ok to provide *examples* of how to enable them, but forcing them on
everyone should never be the default.
