Well, now that you mention it, yes, that could be bad. The feature is
built into the CCK - you can hide extensions from the add-ons list,
prevent them from being uninstalled...

...you guys didn't know this? It didn't hit me at the time, but now
that you frame it like that, I can see the problem. I'll email you a
screenshot of the config screen. Far as I could tell the only
difference was in the cck.properties file, and those properties are
acted upon in lines 282-297 of the cckService.js file. Looks like it
asserts the property to a resource: http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#hidden
and http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#locked. At this point I'm in
way over my head, but I'd guess that this is an undocumented feature
somewhere. Happy to do some more testing, but I'm sure there are
people who know far more than I that are paid to do this.
