What advantage would this be compared to separate extension in
separate repository as it is now ? Just wondering...

I think the whole "extra" business in PostGIS was mostly done
because it was hard, with SVN, to have a new repository.
Nowadays OSGeo (among many others) allows users to easily setup
their repositories, so why would we want to merge things togheter
rather than keeping things modular ?

I'd be even tempted to move address_standardizer out, as I don't
think it's postgis-specific ?

What advantage does it bring to testing that's not already available
from geometry generation functions ?
