I realize that this bug is about libunity-webapps and not about the browser 
extensions, but this bit concerns me:
"Part of the WebApps technology, integration scripts that expand the "scope" of 
a given website (URL) are being "run" along with a given webpage by dedicated 
extensions (for chromium and firefox)."

What guarantees do we have that the extension won't break in the next
browser security update? Are there tests (preferably automated) that can
be run to verify that the new browser works with the old extension? Who
will be doing this testing? Who is maintaining the browser extension
code in stable releases? I have quite a few concerns here because these
updates come every 3-6 weeks and we don't want to have to decide between
providing a timely, important security update to our users and breaking
the browser extension (and therefore webapps).
