People are already using ISN (or at least ISBN) in production. It's been around for 12 years. So any step we take with contrib/ISN needs to take that into account -- just as we have with Tsearch2 and XML2.
One can certainly argue that some of the stuff in /contrib would be better on PGXN. But in that case, it's not limited to ISN; there are several modules of insufficient quality (including intarray and ltree) or legacy nature which ought to be pushed out. Probably most of them.
