I agree that just about every vendor has extensions and just about every
installation uses them in some form or another. But I have run into a
*significant* number of sites in which the extensions are strictly isolated
such that the bulk of the application code doesn't need to make direct use
of them, precisely so that if the site decides to switch vendors the
migration is relatively painless.
