because if you want global extensions, there is a mechanism that exists for a 
long time: put jar files in lib/ext

the new .mvn/extensions.xml feature is really about permitting non-global 
extensions, to ease per-project tests before making the extensions global (and 
if the extension is a strong requirement and not only an enhancement, add it 
to the documentation for the team to make sure it doesn't work with stock 
Maven but configured one)

so, it's not a bug, it's really a feature :)
