That's not in scope here. Our past experience with trying to move
extensions into core is that it creates a pretty painful upgrade
experience for users, so that's not something I'm interested in doing
... especially for relatively marginal cases like these.

There's also a more generic question of why we should want to move
anything to core anymore. The trusted-extension mechanism removes
one of the biggest remaining gripes about extensions, namely the
pain level for installing them. (But please, let's not have that
debate on this thread.)
