Vulkan will just be a random collection of extensions?
If they are extensions, are they optional?
If they are in the official specification, are they still extensions?
Is this really a nice API?
Because it's easier to create an extension than amending the core spec, so experimental features can be pushed out faster and iterated.
No, I expected the same model as OpenGL; eventually those extensions that have proven to be useful and have real-world usage will be wrapped up in the next core release.
Yes, they are optional. In the same sense that version 1.1 is optional as long as you support 1.0. It's not that big of a difference, just semantics.
Yes, they are. Extensions can be vendor-specific, vendor-neutral or officially sanctioned by Khronos. The main distinguishing feature of an extension is that it is a diff against a core spec version, which enhances it by a smaller amount of functionality.

Delete, ban and don't bother responding to any complaints since that's their main goal.
