Ok, I see. It seems the behavior I read about was specifically patched
into Fedora 25:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F25_general_release_announcement?rd=F25_release_announcement
"GNOME Shell extensions are also no longer checked for compatibility
with the current version of the Shell. This was originally required
because the GNOME interfaces were changing rapidly during the early days
of GNOME 3. Now these interfaces have stabilized, and extensions can
generally be expected to work with new releases."

Thanks for the info!
