Does it? Isn't the default xwiki-entreprise still the most common one?
How would you take in account the other flavours then? By listing them?

Yes, indeed, listing the flavours.
I've opend this one:
    http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13430 not all extensions should
be perceived as installable
But I feel that something more could be done. Maybe a way to check if an
extension is installed in one's wiki (input your wiki name there and
keep it in a cookie, click a link or even produce an iframe)
What do others feel?

Also, the fact that it's called "extensions.xwiki.org" remains a hint
towards a wiki to be extended.

manage extensions.
