Agreed, +1 to activities in spite of what I will write below.

Extensions like control panel modules, device icons, key handlers,
favorite layouts, etc.

Right now, these are .py files that the user can drop in
/usr/share/sugar/extensions/*/, but in the future I can see them being
distributed in bundles along with icons and other resources.

But anyway, I don't think that that future possibility should tie us
to use the addons name instead of activities, when the latter is much
more clear from the user POV.
