As we know it is the Profile that gets corrupted in the event of incompatibility. That's why I think users should be advised to test any and every extension first, since a combination of certain (on their own, perfectly compatible with the program version) extensions in the same profile will cause a problem that didn't arise before they ended up co-existing. And no extension developer can possibly test that.
