I specifically read in the article that I linked above that the reviewers supposedly have a disfavorable view on 'hot loading' code externally, so that developers would not swap in different code than the code already reviewed...
Hmmm. Do you know if "major" extensions such as Boomerang, etc. typically update their extensions on the store, or do they do exactly as you say -- leave the store extension alone as much as possible, and update remote code?
Thanks for your input!
