Actually that's partly the intention. Several contrib modules have been
removed in the recent past, some others have been moved out to
pgFoundry. Some are waiting for a little more maturity before they are
moved into core.

IMHO what you should really be doing is convincing somebody to create
binary packages for your operating system for the interesting/useful
pgFoundry projects.
