Extrude mesh node improvement with repeat zone
Now that we have "repeat zone", could it be possible to extend "extrude mesh" node to support repeated mesh extrusion? Similar behavior as normal E and Left mouse, but geometry node based with possibility to affect how vertices on extrusion are distributed. Like start new extrusion if certain limit has been reached, etc... Only thing that comes in mind is that it can create simple slide effect (possible with curves of course, but does not transform well to mesh behavior)

Can't this be achieved by placing the extrude node inside the repeat zone and feeding its output back into the loop?
Yes, but currently the iteration steps amount can't be controlled by checking distance and adding when it stops and starts a new extrusion. The values are handled as fields in math and vector math, while the iteration is integer. So the iteration does not allow input to be field based.
