Hi Franz, hi Georg... any news here? :-)
I would be more than happy if someone could provide some more details
and/or share knowledge:

My understanding is so far, that the title and description you enter
when registering a new extkey is not used anywhere.

Franz is right in one point: you can not delete (remove) an extkey after
you habe published at a least one version of the ext in the TER (the
"delete" button is simply hidden).

But what happens if you have registered an extkey and not uploaded any
versions? I assume, in this case George is right: you could remove the
key and register the same key again with new text/description
information. It would be great if someone could confirm this assumptions :-)

Anyway... I still don't see any reason for the requirement to enter some
information (that you can not update later) about the new extension,
when you register a new key.

Cheers
Michael
