There is a big difference between: - not avoiding any breakage and somewhat implying that there is some evil going on and the actual actions, meaning: - no change for change sake - no change just to break extensions In your email, you're conveniently leaving out that a lot of work has gone into the extensions.gnome.org site, the ability to have extensions, the amount of time GNOME shell developers have spent to do a code review on each and every extension as well as updates to each extension, etc. Extensions can do *anything* within GNOME shell. As a result, breakage is to be expected every so often. Now in practice, I don't think too many extensions are broken. They just need to be marked compatible with a GNOME shell version. Furthermore, updates to extensions are reviewed by GNOME shell developers. If they break stuff, it means additional work for them to review the updated extension. -- Regards, Olav -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
