+Well I guess really in general there should be a lot of extensions in 
+the repo's for Gnome Shell, and not just for shut down? I mean 
+extensions give people more choice on what can be done with Gnome, just 
+like Firefox extensions give people more choice in what can be done with

+Personally I think it would be a rather good thing from a user point of 
+view, if Gnome Shell became much more like Firefox, as in had many 
+extensions available for it.
