Comment 2 for bug 1713085

The trouble with that is that users might not have write access to the main extensions directory; I certainly don't without becoming a super-user, and the whole point of a system with a package manager is that it manages all that stuff for me. If I mess with the files, and then my system tries to upgrade me to the newest Ubuntu with Inkscape 0.92, I then have a conflict I have to resolve. The whole point of having a user extensions directory is so you can install extensions without having to mess with the main installation, and extensions can be installed per-user. AIUI, this is a fairly standard model for extendable software like Inkscape.
