It's not particularly convenient to have to manually modify LocalSettings.php every time one wants to add/remove an extension or change other basic settings. It seems like it would be easier to allow this to be done through a system similar to the System Messages screen. We could have checkboxes for all presently installed extensions, and a checkbox next to a one-line blank form (for allowing entry and installation of new extensions), and an update button. Perhaps a new type of user (in addition to Sysop, Bureaucrat, Oversight, etc.) could be created for doing these major configuration changes. Also, we might consider adding libraries of commonly-installed extensions (e.g. ParserFunctions, Cite, etc.) so that the user can just select those checkboxes if they want to install it.
See the Configure extension currently in progress. (Should this be duped to something?)
