Have you considered if/how upgrading extensions could be integrated in a common upgrade tool? If the Shell, Epiphany, GEdit and other GNOME apps start using extensions, it would really be nice to upgrade them all from the same place. Else, you'll get an upgrade notification from the Shell when logging in, one when starting two days later GEdit, etc. That really doesn't fit in the idea of a desktop that helps you focusing on what you want to do. With a central place, we could check every two weeks for upgrades, and run them all at the same time.
Probably the PackageKit upgrade tool isn't the best candidate (at least as-is), because it works on system packages, and rarely bring interesting new things to users, contrary to extensions that people chose to install. But either a per-user upgrade tool could run, or the PackageKit one could gain support for per-user extensions. What do you think?
