How does this play with extensions that are packaged in RPMs (such as
the extensions that come with GNOME Classic)? I'm guessing it would
encourage you to install the local copy in your home directory, which
would diverge from the system copy.

Speaking from past experience, this can make it hard to sort out
extension problems when updating to a development version of GNOME.
