To the Blender Development Team:

  First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Blender team on behalf of myself and all my students who use Blender for creating 3D content. Blender has revolutionized my life and approach to teaching animation, allowing me to deliver lessons in a more efficient and innovative manner.

  I am thrilled about the introduction of the extension module feature in Blender 4.2. This is undoubtedly an exciting update that offers users greater flexibility and extensibility.

 However, I would like to humbly propose a small suggestion for your consideration. It would be greatly appreciated if you could consider including commonly used plugins, such as Rigify, within the core Blender installation package.

 These mainstream plugins have become deeply integrated into Blender's native workflow, forming an indispensable part of many users' creative processes. For many, these plugins are no longer mere add-ons; they are an integral part of the Blender experience.

  Requiring an internet connection to download these plugins poses a significant challenge for users who lack access to the internet. They would be unable to utilize Blender's shortcuts seamlessly and might even be hindered from completing basic creative tasks.

 Therefore, I earnestly request that you consider incorporating frequently used plugins like Rigify into the native Blender installation package. This would ensure that users can still leverage Blender's full functionality and unleash their creative potential, even in offline environments.

 I am confident that this minor adjustment would greatly benefit the vast Blender community and further enhance Blender's usability and practicality.

 Thank you once again for your dedication and hard work. I eagerly anticipate Blender's continued development and look forward to even more exceptional creative experiences for its users.

Sincerely,
Kaka Luc
Animation Instructor

Rigify itself is included with Blender.

For other add-ons it is recommended to use a portable configuration if you want them included in all the installs:
