Of course there are false negatives > often enough, but usually they're fixed fast. That's the problem: they need fixing. And if the extension is no longer maintained unexperienced users can't use it though it would run perfectly. I know several examples for this. I can fix this easily but I'm not the "unexperienced user".
I would like to see that extension and application dynamically negotiate that so that no user action is necessary. Why shouldn't we do it better?
