Public bug reported:

Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 42 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/42.1/NEWS

Test Case 1
---------
sudo apt install gnome-session gnome-shell-extensions
Install the update.
Log out.
Select your name on the login screen.
Click the gear button to choose a session to log in to.
Finish logging in.

Verify that things continue to work well for all these sessions:
GNOME
GNOME Classic
Ubuntu
Ubuntu on Xorg


Test Case 2
-----------
Because a GNOME Shell update years ago broke some GNOME Shell extensions, it's 
also requested that we do a basic test of all the extensions included in the 
Ubuntu repositories.

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/removal-of-gnome-shell-extension-from-
universe-and-stop-auto-syncs/18437/9

Install all the extensions.
Log out and then log back in.
Use one of the Extensions apps to enable all the extensions.
Verify that they can all be enabled without showing an error.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
GNOME Shell is the heart of the Ubuntu desktop experience.

A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their
desktop version of Ubuntu.

Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.

GNOME Shell is included in the GNOME micro release exception
