Aside from making such an article most functional, could the marketing
team please recommend that the g-s developers complete [1] the extension
support [2] for the initial release?

This is important for two reasons, I think;
1) It is a rather uncontroversial idea that having an extension system
is a good way to excite developers and power users (e.g. firefox/chrome
extensions, the unity places api, etc)
2) It would look like a genuine gesture meant at addressing some of the
power user uncertainty towards g-s. Much more genuine than the vague
pointers [3] towards a 'power user panel' or 'tweak tool' that
troublesome users might want to use to tweak g-s to their will.
