A repository containing any PostgreSQL extension you can imagine for Linux distributions is something that might be valuable if you are trying to save some time. Extensions, extensions, extensions... They're one of the features that make PostgreSQL great, therefore the existence of an evolving ecosystem encompassing them to make it easy to consume by applications. For instance we've recently looked at pgextensions.org by DataCloudGaze, an online index of all PostgreSQL extensions available on all Cloud providers' managed instances.
