<br>
- We aim to ship a vanilla gnome experience, and really most extensions become user preference, they are for the most part a niche, and if not<br>
(and everyone on the planet really wants a particular extension), then it should be proposed for inclusion into core gnome-shell.<br>
- Extensions break with most new releases and many lack proper maintenance, they can be slow to be fixed, and are a nightmare to package, for<br>
the most part there is not even proper versioning on the releases..<br>
- Many extensions ultimately get abandoned when the original author gets bored with them and never picked up by others.<br>
<br>
Based on the above, I am against even having any extra extensions available in the archives, i'm certainly not going to install them by default.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ditto and big +1 :)<br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
For what its worth we had all sorts of breakage when we uploaded gnome-shell 3.16 to wily, caused by the dozen or so extensions that synced from<br>
debian.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd add to that, I'm all into stable system rather than trying to please everyone which is a key/way to failure.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
It seems to me that it would be best to just have a page on the new website that highlights a bunch of the more popular extensions, people can<br>
then go to e.g.o and install the ones they like.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Very good idea, or someone could send the proposed text here and we can add that to our Wiki as well.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
