As per discussion on #765
Yes, there is a risk that somebody's repo will actually be expecting sbt-extras, but I think we should just rip that bandaid off, there is no "good time" to rip it off.
Motivation: sbt-extras is not the standard, and the proliferation of multiple launch scripts (there's a coursier one now, too) is bad for the community. I think we should discourage use or perception of sbt-extras as a de facto default. The official script should be the de facto default. It's fine for sbt-extras to exist as a power-user alternative for those who want it. (And if sbt-extras has some feature that is really so commonly needed, that feature should be ported to the official one.)
