Yup. It's just a simple crutch to make it easier to load big packages in
small images...
(although keeping the definitions around wouldn't be that hard, I think.
But for the use I envision, not really necessary. You could set a pref
that makes the extensions silently optional or have them throw errors or
warnings in case you want to do development with them)
