So, if there is no police around, your car goes on the red signal? Mine doesn't.

If I know that my action will increase security and harm those who did not care to obey the rules, I increase security and delibirately forget about those who did not care.

You always can choose one of several methods:
- do not upgrade
- test, then upgrade
- test, search for replacement of some extensions, test, upgrade

There is nothing in this change that stops you from doing upgrades. This change only asks you to install extensions, which has higher quality. Is this bad?
