You intend to release contrib with all the changes requiring the
addition of ExtensionClass to core stripped out? That's going to be
quite a bit of useless work, cosidering how widespread the use of
XMonad.Util.ExtensibleState in contrib is:
    - 8 modules directly import ExtensibleState
    - 3 indirectly through XMonad.Util.PositionStore

Of course, you could temporiarily implement ExtensibleState (missing
serialization) using unsafePerformIO and an IORefs, to be compatible
with the 0.9 core, but we've already discussed how unpleasant that
solution is.
