High-value extensions should be in the core of gnome-shell. Support

non-Gregorian calendars for example:

Or support for media player controls, or builtin weather.
I made a list of those for the gnome-shell developers, but cannot for the
life of me find them anywhere anymore.
I asked this before, I think, but I don't remember the answer. :) Where
does the "popularity" rating on the Shell extension website come from?
<
https://extensions.gnome.org/#sort=popularity> How accurate are these
numbers? It seems like this could be a good source of information for
either extensions to migrate to core functionality or areas where the
design could be improved. Right now, the top-ten list is:
1. Applications Menu
2. User Themes
3. Places Status Indicator
4. Alternate Tab
5. Removable Drive Menu
6. SystemMonitor
7. Native Window Placement
8. Window List
9. OpenWeather
10. Workspace Indicator
Some of these are part of GNOME Classic; I don't know if that skews the
count. But they aren't all. And some of them I can't live without
(Native Window Placement, I love you) but others (Workspace Indicator?)
seem alien to how *I* use the system. But this isn't all about me. :)
(In seriousness, that's entirely my point — can we use this as a
data-driven approach to improvement?)
