I suspect it's historical, linked to the way extensions were named in
the past... and not an assignment or a judgment on quality.

IMO extensions that are grown in-tree shouldn't have to use a company
prefix, since we all vouch for them... but I'm lacking a bit of history
and reference doc about extension naming to actually tell how much room
we have for maneuver here.
