Yes, I think so too. I can remember that I had strong reasons to do it like 
that and I explained them to Ingmar and Andreas during code review but I do 
not remember now what those reasons were. Most likely it was made for 
allowing only one extension to install the code for handling the login form 
due to possible conflicts.

If the extension wants to add some static JS (like to add a ticker), it 
could supply a template. This is not very flexible but for most customized 
installations this will work.

I think we can lift that restriction if it is too restrictive.
