   I'd be very wary of 3rd party extensions - the API is not guaranteed
to be stable and the extensions live outside of gnome core - so they may
break at any time - unless they are released and tested as part of core
it seems like bad advice to suggest people rely on them.

   Also, how are security/privacy issues checked and managed in
extensions versus gnome core - do people just trust the extension
writers - or are the fedora packagers actively verifying there are no
issues?
