I guess i'd have to disagree, as extension imagine if each provider created
their own extension, what would the sidebar turn into. It is better that we
create the core functionality and let providers (most of which wouldnt spend
the time to create their own extension) create just the minimum needed
integration to enable their service to function within it. We are doing the
same thing with the GSoC project to revamp the gallery sidebar tab so that it
can search online providers like openclipart, which used to be its own
dedicated panel until the sidebar arrived.
