If hooks are needed by system extensions I don't see any problems in 
adding them. Shipping the system extensions together with the core 
ensures that the right combination core-extension will almost always be 
made.

For third party extensions the situation is a bit more complex. 
Currently only checks for major versions are necessary. Introducing 
hooks in a bugfix release would make it a bit more complex.

The same is true for me regarding adding functionality. I personally 
wouldn't mind extra functionality as long as 4.5.x remains backwards 
compatible.
