Re: Gnome Shell Extensions isn't shipped with Gnome Shell, WHY?!

[Florian Scandella <flo chilicode com>]

I too like how gnome-shell works. I like the clean desktop, how you 
start applications and how the notifications work. I like how gnome uses 
(and drives) development of freedesktop standards instead of reinventing 
everything and hacking arount short term limitations.
BUT, i really could not use it if it wheren't for docky. I really don't 
like how the window navigation works and that there is no easy 
accessible quickstart on the desktop (without extension, and even then 
docky is much bette) for apps i use often.
Also, more builtin configuration options would be nice, like the theme 
selection, session-properties, notification filtering, etc.
One thing that's bugging me is this: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664331 , but it's not that 
big of a problem.
So while i'm happy with gnome-shell, i'm all for integrating some of the 
most used extensions into the core, with an option to enable/disable them.
