According to
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions.html bug 41902 will prevent extensions installed via the external_extensions.json file to function after Chrome version upgrade.
1. The same page says that the external_extensions.json mechanism has been deprecated in favour of individual JSON files per extension. It seems that the individual files are still stored under versioned Chrome directories. Am I correct to conclude that a Chrome upgrade will break these extensions as in 41902, or are these files being copied?
2. 41902 is still open, is there any information regarding planned resolution?
Thanks,
