Ideally extensions should be made available on an addons site similar to
what Firefox has. Then the timing problems becomes slightly less of an
issue.
Nothing like that is available at this moment though (help welcome:).

At the moment an extension specifies which GNOME shell version it will
work with. If a new GNOME shell version is released, all extensions need
to be updated with that new version number. But timing is an issue
anyway. The solution is to make it easy to distribute new extensions.
