I remember hearing about this Extension Mechanism based on / as 'old'
and not strongly encouraged (maybe just rumors?). Do you know of real
world examples where someone uses it?

To my understanding this approach violates URI Opacity[1] and doesn't
allow dereferencing terms 'extended' in such way.

Looking at examples like http://bibliograph.net they extend schema.org
types in their own namespace. I recommend recent slidedeck[2] by Richard
Wallis
eg. bgn:Thesis, http://bibliograph.net/Thesis
