It would help to list them in the mail so we can easily argue
for/against each of them :-)
In general, the fact that extensions are easily installable means that
we really don't need most extensions by default. We only need them if
they really fix a major issue.
Here's my opinion on the extensions you propose (and it's just my
opinion):
Alt-Tab switcher
=> it's a matter of taste. I'm perfectly happy with the new behavior,
for instance, since I got used to it.
Alternative Status Menu
=> that's the one we ship by default, because it annoyed too many
people to not have the Reboot/Power Off items. Not sure it still
works, though, since I disable it. We might need to take the version
from extensions.gnome.org
Network Connections
=> you can remove connections from the control center now, so the main
use case is less important. Also, I think it's confusing to have
both Network Connections and Network Settings in the menu by
default.
Remove the Accessibility Icon
=> I don't think it's friendly to do this by default, as accessibility
user relies on this. But maybe we can ship the extension disabled by
default, given the number of people asking for this?
Notifications (that's just chat notifications)
=> No opinion, might be useful in the short term, but I think upstream
wants to fix the core issue another way for 3.6.
Calculator
=> nice, but clearly not something we need by default :-)
Media Player Indicator
=> with media keys, I've never felt the need for this. What is the
experience of others?
Advanced Settings
=> the advanced settings are not used often enough to be in the menu by
default, imho.
Places Status Indicator
=> probably nice, but not something I'd use by default.
For the record, I don't think we should ship so many extensions by
default. Having one or two is fine, but more might cause issues with
updates, if it happens we have to ship a newer gnome-shell for instance.
Cheers,
Vincent
