one question about:

consider introducing extensions.quarkus.io or similar as a true open registry of quarkus extensions (think npm.org, rubygems.org, herd.ceylon.org, etc.)

Is this really makeable without having a module system in quarkus (such as, jboss modules or JSR-376)? For example, think of not conflicting (transitive) dependencies/extensions, etc.

For this I'm not really talking about having a full blown module system; but more an extension system - maybe a better analogy is a "marketplace" like vscode, eclipse, intellij marketplace - its about having a place where the quarkus extensions are possible to find, links to documentation, etc.

@maxandersen can you refresh / nuke based on what we want to achieve in the next 3 to 6 months

[maxandersen]

added the "leftovers" so using this as the "hub" for platform work.

@maxandersen find a better name

This is more or less Quarkiverse, so closing to be replaced with other subtasks as needed.
