First of all, not all addons are packaged. What most likely happened was
a maintainer thought it would be a good idea to put a particular addon in
Fedora repo so they went through the process to get it approved, etc.
Correct. I packaged or became co-maintainer of all the ones I use.

What you could do is open up a bugzilla for the addons which are
causing
an issue and request that they be updated or removed. The maintainer
should have been aware of the webextension situation and taken the
appropriate actions. It's not like this was a surprise.
What do you think the appropriate action is when FF57 is released
but NoScript compatible with it isn't? Should I just block FF57 update
and wait for the angry mob to show up at my door? It sucks, but even I
think that geting FF57 out was more important than waiting to get FF57
out together a compatible NoScript version. I'll build an updated
package when a new version is released. You're welcome to watch for
updates and add karma in bodhi once the update is submitted.

Dominik (mozilla-noscript maintainer)
