When I say “extensions for everyone,” I mean four group of people First, users and DBAs. They want packages. They do not want to compile code on production servers. Second, extension authors. They need reach. And they also don't want the trouble of building and delivering them. Third, vendors. They need reusable components. Rebuilding the same packages over and over again is a waste of engineering time. And fourth, PostgreSQL hackers. They need signals. When compatibility breaks, extensions are often where we see it first. So this is about a shared delivery layer. Not just for convenience, but also for visibility. Before we talk about delivery, let’s look at the ecosystem. We need to understand what we are trying to deliver.
