what do you mean with "issue".
A fundamental required info in a bug report is to specify the issue you are having.

This is a standard way to reset some extensions stuffs and is not a bug report.

There are some extension authors who mistakenly set their maxversion to "3.0" instead of "3.0.*", and as such it'll complain that those aren't compatible after update.  Report this to those authors for them to fix.

As for any other issues, please file a bug report.  This, however, is not one.
