Being in core hg means they are part of the same software source 
distribution as Mercurial itself. They don't need a separate 
installation, nor to support several different versions of Mercurial. 
That's not to say bugs are impossible, just that the compatibility 
target of an extension managed in core is the exact same hg it is 
bundled with.

By contrast, hg-git is not in core.

This is no longer true: the recently released hg-git 0.8.13 supports 
Mercurial 5.1 and 5.2 (Python 2 only).
