> This should be using the new dependency generator stuff

I intentionally only want to set a lower bound.  This allows for users to
easily test the extension with a newer GNOME version by setting the dconf key
/org/gnome/shell/disable-extension-version-validation to true.  And if they
don't set that, they can still disable the extension without uninstalling it
and proceed with system upgrades.  When a future update adds compatibility they
can observe in the Extensions app that the warning icon goes away and they can
enable it again.

Beyond just using the extension, this capability is highly beneficial for
collaboration with upstream.  It makes it easy to report to upstream that the
extension works on new versions of GNOME (so they just need to update
metadata.json), or that it doesn't work with the corresponding error message.

Both of those aspects, combined with the quick six month cadence of new GNOME
versions, makes the generator untenable to me.  Since it's not required by the
guidelines, I'll pass on this.

This is also not required by the guidelines, and is just a personal preference,
so I'll pass on this one too.


Are there any review-blocking items?
