Translations:Schools of thought concerning integration of extensions into the core/1/en

An extension should be bundled with the installer after it has become extremely widely used. There are a couple major schools of thought concerning other extensions. The centralist view is that it is better to let the different extensions compete for acceptance on an even playing field unless and until the wikisphere settles on a clear favorite, the idea being that such a decentralized process harnesses the knowledge and creativity of a larger group to create solutions, and incorporates useful feedback about their preferences into the standard-setting process. The decentralist view is that it is better for the developer community to play a leadership role of picking what everyone should use rather than waiting for system administrators across the wikisphere to reach consensus; this helps progress by facilitating the emergence of widely-used standards, thus avoiding unnecessary delays or inconvenient.
