I can understand the maintainer’s point, it seems like in essence, people want drag-and-drop positioning, which is a complexity I wouldn’t want to add either. Personally, having dabbled in some light extension-making recently, couldn’t find a way to set extension load-order or set one extension as depending on another, both of which seem to be basic features they need to add. Either of which could speak towards an answer to the basic problem of ‘things keep loading in random order’ which is kind of annoying. From there, it seems the maintainer is correct and one could just write an extension to add drag-and-drop ordering to the mix.
