Extensions are still a big malware vector so I can't see this as anything but a net win as long as developer mode remains available for power users.

Yep. I understand the resentment towards this decision, but anything that cuts down on the 10+ Conduit adware extensions I find myself uninstalling from clients' computers every day is fine by me.
Some of these infected extensions already show up as being installed by enterprise policy, though, which the article states will not be affected.
So I'm not sure how effective this will be in the long run.
