Time will tell. As they note in the page I linked to, they've decided to tackle that one when they get there.
I'll agree it sounds like it could get messy. That said, I'm sort of imagining the core set of extensions to not grow significantly larger. Perhaps they'll add some granularity to the various profile levels, like embedded application CPUs like in set-top boxes might not need all the features of a full-blow desktop or server CPU.
