Bug#993196: gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows: does not declare compatibility with GNOME Shell 40

Package: gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows
Version: 13-1
Severity: important

The metadata.json for this extension doesn't declare compatibility with
GNOME 40. I don't know whether the actual code will need changes.

In many versions of GNOME Shell, metadata.json didn't matter much, because
validation of extensions' metadata against the installed Shell version
was disabled by default; but in GNOME 40 the default has changed back
to enabling the version check by default, in an effort to avoid issues
caused by outdated extensions remaining enabled.

When we do the GNOME 40 transition, hopefully soon, we will have to
either update this extension or remove it from testing. It would be
useful to get a fixed version into experimental.

Thanks,
