Fine with that but the GRASS 7 version currently defines:

g.extension -h
     prefix   Prefix where to install extension
                default: $(HOME)/.grass/addons

I guess that this is an oversight and should be
                default: $(HOME)/.grass7/addons
?

Additionally: to fully make sense, shouldn't this directory be the default
value for the variable
GRASS_ADDON_PATH

in
lib/init/functions.sh
lib/init/grass.py
lib/init/init.bat

?
