Just throwing in questions on minimizing the problem of updates breaking
gnome-shell extensions, obviously:
Can we make testing beta versions (and porting extensions to the next
major version of GNOME) more attractive / easier for extension authors?
Have Shell maintainers published info on "Code changes which may affect
extensions" in the past? Putting this into the release notes feels a bit
too late.
