  + Warnings During upgrade about Extensions ? (Robinson)
    + impossible to know what APIs are used by an extension
      => can't do a really good job at this - of detecting
         issues.

      author annotated compatibility - needs coding & a volunteer
    + in the meantime hope that during 4.x extension migration is
      much smoother (Markus)
