I think there's probably a third way. It used to be that Firefox extensions broke with every update, but now that really rarely happens. That's partly because the base program has kind of stablized, but also because there's a nice developer ecosystem, with good supporting documentation and tons of tutorials. I think it's important to grow that for Gnome Shell, with good communication about migrating extensions as new versions come out. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
