I agree.  In fact, those extensions won't even be there, because they
are by default installed under /System, so the new OS installation
will remove them just as it will remove 2.3.5.  I don't think this
will disconcert or surprise anyone -- any needed additional packages
will just have to be re-installed.  So what?  Another advantage of
using the pre-supplied version.

Yep, that's what we're looking for.
