Seems implied by being cast as logically not "fully functional" [your
words].

Numerous extensions are already available;  I can pull at least a dozen
via the openSUSE repos.  You probably don't need to write one.  This is
*no different* than customization on GNOME 2 - someone else implemented
the customization option and the user just utilized it.  A bunch of crap
was *bundled* with GNOME2, which is the only difference [and
distributions can still choose to do that].
