+I would call it a regression that shouldn't pass QA. One day your ads 
+ands scripts are blocked and the other day they are not. Great user 
+experience..

+And even larger disadvantage comes in when they are not updated. Contain 
+memory leaks and so on. The biggest problem here is that the packager 
+who imported those addons is not keeping them up-to-date.
+
+Sysadmin can copy those extensions into place anyway. Then it's up to 
+him/her to keep them up-to-date. Currently we have to take care of that 
+and we don't (or if anyone wants to claim that we do then we do it 
+really poorly as there are already newer versions of addons that got 
+pushed with latest update).
