More importantly deadline is still January 2023: "Chrome Web Store stops accepting updates to existing Manifest V2 extensions"

I think this has to change and may just be an outdated part of the timeline that hasn't been updated yet. After all, this item is still on the timeline too: "Enterprise policy can let Manifest V2 extensions run on Chrome deployments within an organization." But that doesn't make any sense anymore, because V2 will no longer be disabled on the stable channel in January, so there's not even a need for an enterprise policy to keep V2 extensions running.

It wouldn't make any sense to let V2 extensions keep running until June but disallow updates. What about security issues? They have to allow security updates.

That was always the plan no? They would stop allowing updates before they officially removed the extensions from the store...

This was a mistake and has been corrected.
