I thought about this.
But basically only admins have access to the ExtMgr, and admins should 
know what they do.

The question is at what points you have to check for the state.
Because you will always have to opportunity to install those extensions 
manually or via direct upload.
A concept could be to disallow _activating_ these extensions.

It's on my mind though...
