In general, I'd say we wait for WiX v4.0 to start doing such changes. WiX
v4.0 will standardize on .NET Framework 4.0 and we'll do things to remove
many of the .NET Framework v1.1 concepts.
That said, I'm not terribly excited about adding a significant number of
extension methods. They make the code more readable at the expense of
creating a custom lingo (the extensions) that you have to learn to
understand to read the code. It's a balance.
