Fair enough. What are the version numbers of each current contribs?

No, not all of them. Most of them are in the tree as show cases or for
core developers to easily check they just didn't break an important part
of the system from an external viewpoint, or to give examples on how to
upgrade external extension code between major releases.
The part that will drop in interest is the one where customers are not
trusting the extension mechanism and third-party software enough to
grant them landing into their production environments. Maybe. Given some
years and a good track record.
