Sure we are not there yet and I don't expect the extension experience
to be at that level for 3.0 (i.e 3.2 material).
If we are not there yet, then why don't we wait until F16 for Gnome
3/Gnome Shell? I see this as being exactly the same as the situation
was with systemd--it wasn't polished in time for F14, so it had to
wait until F15. Why should Gnome be any different? Why should the
users have to put up with a half-baked user experience for F15?
