Bugs happen every gnome version change, it's a given, now it's autorotate not working, but it will be fixed. But extensions just need updating, normally they give an update right before the version launch.
But i never had seen the person on the second painel, gnome development works in this way, if you use a tablet on a bleeding edge distro, you are pratically on gnomes QA team hahahhaha
I was talking about gnome bugs, not that bugs affect extensions, my english is not the best.
About the extensions, idk if there are wildcards in the metadata.json, but I think it would solve this issue of updating and then extensions breaking, because I've seen that the only extensions that break put only specific versions, so you can add the current version on the file when you update or update the extension manually.
