I agree.  That's one thing I didn't like about installing Cinnamon, all
these extensions got installed by default.   A better approach, if one
can be designed, is to have some sort of "Extension Center" (???) where
extensions are stored but disabled and users can easily enable/configure
via GUI interaction.  (Sadly, some awesome extensions require users to
go into a file to edit for configuration.)
