For example, `pgvector-16-0.7.4-bookworm-1` would represent the first image built in a repository for pgvector 0.7.4 for PostgreSQL 16 on Debian Bookworm. If multi-arch images aren't desired, we could incorporate the architecture somewhere in the naming convention.
Well now you’re just describing the binary distribution format RFC[1] (POC[2]) and multi-platform OCI distribution POC[3] :-)

However, I'm a bit rusty with the extensions framework, so I'll need to check if this approach is feasible and makes sense.
Right, if we decided to adopt this proposal, it might make sense to include the “default version” as part of the directory name. But there’s quite a lot of work between here and there.
Best,
