What is the longterm goal of PostGIS, to use this as a stepping stone to reach
a point where no unpackaged extensions exist; or find a way to continue with
the current setup except with syntax that isn't going away?

Overloading the same syntax for creating packaged as well as unpackaged
extensions sounds like the wrong path to go down.
