The only out-of-tree open source extension module I'm aware of is the
VNC module from TigerVNC/RealVNC/etc. I suspect the primary users of
that ABI check are the closed driver OpenGL extension modules though.
(We do ship a couple extra open source extension modules in
Solaris/OpenSolaris, but we build those in tree, and always ship coupled
with the X server package, and don't support any other ABI version, so
have no checks.)
