The "remotely" part of this depends on whether we want to allow extensions to "eject" themselves (i.e. leave any managed resources that they created to be managed by the user themselves, when the extension is installed).

This is a delicate topic. We still do not have a solution to enable contributors to "eject" their extension instance.
This is still a trade off situation between lifetime of access tokens and possibility of cleaning up mStudio resources.

Isn't "ejecting" the default right now? Since the access tokens are revoked before the ExtensionInstanceRemovedFromContext webhook is invoked, there's no possibility to clean up anything (at least, any mStudio resources), anyway.

yeah wrong terminology. i meant we currently offer no way of cleaning up the mStudio resources created by the extension, but this topic possibly will get some traction shortly.

Might be unfeasible in some cases (for example, most extensions will manage all instances in a single deployment unit, meaning that backups and logs will contain data from all instances). Maybe change the wording to something like "should be asserted that backups and logs are deleted eventually"...? 🤔
