I'm actually not thrilled with the security update situation when it comes to extensions. It really is a disservice to our users to ask them to independently manage each and every extension and upgrade each one of them by hand. > In-core installed-by-default extensions, anyone? I'm not against this idea- but we *still* need to solve the problem of how we update the catalog during a point release and, imv anyway, we would need to be able to upgrade any in-core installed-by-default extensions during a point release too, to address any security or other issues from them. Right now we get to slide by on upgrading extensions by not having any in-core / installed-by-default ones and punting to the user with "well, you installed it, not us, therefore you have to manage it by hand for eternity"; that doesn't work when we're installing it for them and they may not even know they've got it.. Thanks, Stephen
