It is remarked that, if A is a complete boolean algebra and δ is an A-valued equivalence relation on a non-empty set I, then the set of δ-extensional functions from I to A can be regarded as a complete boolean algebra extension of A and a characterization is given of the complete extensions which arise in this way.
