Hi,

it sounds not bad but i think it's bit complicate.
People working on core write patch, which can easy tested by applying the 
patch. Writing an extension with xclass is double work.
And to have an hci-suggested extension, we need a coordinator, a special 
discipline in team work.

For major changes this is a possibility to show it anyway.
