If this is something we care about we might give it a try to include the necessary changes on the AOOE site. What I'm thinking about is to manage OpenOffice 4 installations running on computers with OpenOffice 3 on board by informing end-users that the Extensions won't be migrated but that at the address http://extensions.openoffice.org/upgrade/400/[id-list] they will find compatibility info, where [id-list] is the list of installed Extensions. Such page should be able to display all available info for those Extensions, and more important versions compatible with AOO4. We'll need to loop in Extensions' authors making easy for them to provide such information. How do you like that?
