This is not relevant as having a few of those extensions out of Core
would not make them part of the "feature set" of TYPO3 anymore. As such
there is no need to activate them. If ones wants OpenID (let's say it is
out of Core), then it is exactly the same process as integrating
OpenLDAP authentication. Same for linkvalidator, this would be similar
to installing additional_reports from TER.

So the problem is solely for existing installs relying on some of these
system extensions which would not be "system" anymore and should be
fetched automatically to prevent a crash of the install.
