This. I've updated the bug summary from "mediawiki should require extension
versions" to "MediaWiki should encourage extension versioning".

I'd say, at a minimum, all of Wikimedia's extensions (and possibly all "major"

There's some way to get roughly equivalent functionality from Git. I don't
remember if it's a truncated hash or it uses integers, but I know there's a
hack that people have devised.
