And the vast vast majority don't use
preferences. I don't think it'll
be a huge issue. The extensions that are broken and people use
will quickly be found and fixed.
How gracefully will old extensions fail?
I'd assume fatally, but extensions sometimes break when core code
updates. That's a fact of life. One way to avoid this is to ask to
get it checked into Wikimedia SVN, so a grep can show that there are
users and they can be fixed by whoever makes the breaking change.
I believe they'll just not have their extended preferences displayed
until they've updated to work with the non-crappy, actually sanely
extensible, preferences interface.
Nothing else would be affected.
