My impression was that even if we made no changes, from the user's
perspective, they would lose all extensions.  This is due to the
change in base directory for the profile.  So all extensions would be
lost and need to be reinstalled.  So there will be no doubt in the
user's mind, even if they do not read the release notes, that the
extensions are gone.

Again, my impression is that users will lose their extensions and need
to reinstall them, even if we do not make any API changes.

I think a "clean break" with the past profile helps us avoid the
current generation of crash issues.  We get to start clean rather than
deal with the many upgrade paths:

No real problem with reinstalling extensions after a major upgrade, I've done 
that too.
But there is a difference between the mere inconvenience of reinstalling 
extensions and losing them completely (waiting that someone dare update them).
