[Yt-dev] yt structure

Howdy y'all,

I'm wondering if there is a system to deciding when something belongs in yt.lagos (like the HaloFinders), or in yt.extensions (like the HaloProfiler)? For example, I'm thinking of adding a simple bit of code that will calculate the star formation history (Msol/year, for example) for a given set of stars. Would that go in extensions or in lagos? The best I can tell is that extensions are more secondary, as in they are a post-processor of already refined data, while lagos handles the raw data and refines it down.

Thanks!
