I tend to agree with Tim - I'm not at all sure what "install-on-first-
use" is doing, and I don't think I care. All I care about are being
able to *not* install the extensions (for alpha/beta releases) and
being able *to* install them (for final releases). I don't have any
problem that this feature could solve, so I don't have a valid reason
to have an opinion...
