Hi, a very non intuitive function. Would be great if ST_Extent can support geography.

Yeah, that is a way, but will not works over big geometries, and still with medium ones, can be a problem, like when we intersects, is a problem the extent surface is smaller than the geoms.
I know there is not an intuitive way, but, that does not solve the problem it self. I think would be better keep it open even if there is no a solution by now, because is an issue.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
There is not an intuitive extent on the sphere, or we would provide one. If you want a mercator extent or something to use on a slippy map, you can make one yourself, by reprojecting to mercator and getting the usual planar extent. If you want it expressed in geographics, reproject it back to geographic. It will be something that will look like an extent on a square map.
