Just to build up on this. I feel like Extensions are maybe a technical /
development feature that may have the power to address the issue, but from
a "Product" (PHP language as the product) this isn't the best. Anything
behind extensions add a significant entry burden and reduce the reach for
users of the product, be it for lack of trust, knowledge or lack of
infrastructure that allows such changes.
