Re: anybody see this on the numix project?

Without stability extensions aren't something I can "sell" to enterprise.  However, extensions are something with huge potential to solve a huge variety of problems for companies.  I have some specific questions about this and would like to discuss on IRC after the next engagement meeting if possible.

Reaching out seems like a good idea; at the very least we want to have
good relations with other projects using our technology.

Just remember: there is no API for extensions. You can't "document"
them the way you would a library, and the only way to ensure extension
stability is for us to not make internal changes to the shell.
