> You obviously don't even understand the problem. Two extensions cannot arbitrate who's going to be where without knowing about each other or having a central location for config.
A extension can allow reordering using DnD and it can as well write a config file (or use gsettings) to store them. It can also listen for other extensions that get enabled (after it got loaded) and reorder them as well.
Before claiming that others "obviously" don't understand anything please go and read the code you are talking about.

So, extension A says "I want to be leftmost". Extension B says "I want to be leftmost". Who wins without central configuration? Who decides who's wishes are more important?
Please, look at some of the extensions and how they clash with each other in this way. Without predefined, central configuration, which decides on what goes where with finality, it is not possible to have deterministic behaviour.

But, coming back to the original point, which was about (basic) ability to customise. If I remember correctly, the editor of this site used to run a vertical panel, for instance. He cannot do this any more (if what you're saying is true).
So, the Gnome Classic is more like Gnome Classic Ultralite. Just looks like it, but really doesn't do the same thing.
