From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
It's the job of the Gnome developers to update and improve Gnome.
It's the job of the extension developers to update their extensions when there's a new Gnome version.
And it's the job of your distro's maintainers to keep the versions of Gnome and the extensions in the repo compatible.
If you install Gnome from your distro's repo and extensions from Gnome's website, YOU take on this job.
Just install your extensions from your distro's repo and you won't have any issues.
