I think that's the root disconnect: The extensions that ship with WiX aren't separate from WiX, so there's been no reason to build them separately. It's not that I think they shouldn't or that it's a bad idea, just that that's not how it's been done. So building them separately is reasonable -- but it can't break the things that need to work for things that ship with WiX, such as versioning and error numbers.There is an SDK for WiX so I would expect the extensions to use it
I'd add that breaking the build into separate partitions like this reduces the extent to which the build can be parallelized. Minimizing that impact would also be good.
Making all that work (as well as making the build output match the staging output) is probably a 2.5 on a difficulty scale of 1 to 10.
