That's fine, I just didn't like the starry vomit, even when all packages
are pinned, and I didn't like my versions.cfg being stomped all the time
(mine often have extends sections, they need appending)

Yes, I suspect a bit chicken and egg (pardon the pun!). Both extensions
monkey patch the loading mechanism, but obviously, by the time the
patching code has been run, the package for the extension has already
been loaded :-S
