Half of my extensions break on every new minor MediaWiki version. <...>
One option is of course to ADD a new on correctly named, and let the old misspelled one call the new one, and introduce a "deprecated list" with a "best before date" for each entry in that list. Then removing them in due time won't surprise anyone (if all this doesn't already exist).
This would fix at least two problems, namely allowing for fixing stuff immediately, and being "merciful" to people who needs more time... :)
