True, it is too early to answer the specific question. The answer to
the more general question, whether there are plans (and resources) to
create such an extension (or option), might still be interesting
though.
True. To be honest, I doubt that the core team that's working on this
will have time to be implementing an extension (or extensions) of that
nature. In place of that, I wouldn't be surprised if we get community
efforts to do some of this, and that's something we could try to
promote.
However, undoing the new design probably won't be easy. I'm assuming
that changing the orientation of the workspaces to be vertical would
likely be hard, since that's deeply tied into how the overview is
organised. Likewise, moving the dash back to its position on the left
gets awkward when you consider that the workspaces pan horizontally.
The new design is nice in that everything fits together nicely,
including the shortcuts and gestures, but that results in less wiggle
room.
When it comes to extensions my personal priority is to ensure that we
have a functional dash to dock extension ready for the next release.
