So, what I understand from reading the API and the changelog is we are passing a GVariant with arbitrary initialization parameters for all extensions when we get a signal emission. I have a question and a suggestion:

Why do we need the signal for that, is it because of some architectural constraint/implementation difficulty? Can't we just set the data along with the path before the extensions are even loaded?

I think it would be better to call this "initialization parameters" instead of extra data, so it's clearer what they are for. I thought at first that they would be something that can be sent at any point rather than just for initialization.
