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.
