Well, in our case, we are never shy of adding new extension points, and actually I hope that it’s ok (performance wise, design wise… etc).

For instance we had to add two such extension points in the patient header. This has not yet been PR’d and merged in, but in [our new effort to unfork Core Apps](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/is-it-possible-to-release-2-3-x-modules/8560/10?u=mksd) we will suggest such changes to the community.
