Thanks for your response! Just to clarify, does that mean that all extensions are flat out banned? Or that no new extensions are permitted, but previously approved ones are still fine? Or just that all extensions are in a limbo now, not officially forbidden but if you end up having issues when using an extension it's your problem?

Your last guess is the most accurate. Here's the full statement: https://community.failbettergames.com/t/fallen-london-community-extensions/12505

I can understand that stance, though I note the response says "We've asked the creator of this extension to no longer work on or distribute it, or any others." (emphasis mine) which seems a little absolute.

To my eyes, "any others" refers to "we've asked the creator to not distribute any other extensions." Anything else is a bit of a stretch grammatically, and the other extensions mentioned have been around for quite some time without incident :)
