To reduce the number of possible configurations thus simplifying QA and dependency issues the client implementation uses the concept of a "known-good set" of system add-ons. This is a list of add-on IDs and versions to run for a particular application | To reduce the number of possible configurations thus simplifying QA and dependency issues the client implementation uses the concept of a "known-good set" of system add-ons.

Every application package and update will be distributed with a known-good set of system add-ons for that application. Periodically the application will attempt to discover a new known-good set to be installed and used. | Every application package and update will be distributed with a known-good set of system add-ons for that application.
