So you're saying that extensions and the extension API are currently more of a alpha preview than an actually working feature? Shame, but hopefully things will stabilize in a year or two, and we might actually draw some benefit from the JavaScript rewrite.

No, I'm saying that extensions are powerful and what people write can lead to instability. Just like one would have with writing any piece of code. Same thing as extensions in a browser. Some browser extensions may not have had the peer review and testing to make a browser stable.

A good extension would go through the kind of diligence that we would have with any other module in GNOME. Without it, "caveat emptor"
