Package removal is often something where a user will manually check why it gets removed. Assuming package dependencies ensure that a new gnome-shell will result in removal of incompatible extensions, a standalone src+bin package would give the user the option to defer the upgrade , but the aggregated package would silently drop the incompatible extension leaving the user without a required/wanted extension. > Regards, > Daniel cu Adrian
