Simply uploading "safe" extension files (i.e. not native libraries)
using the protocol seems narrower in scope and less controversial.

However, I like the idea of putting extensions in the catalogs (aside
from DSOs of course), too. Setting aside compatibility problems with
existing extensions, do you think that's a reasonable goal to work
toward, or do you think that's a dead end?
