Setting up a new installation of t3 often means to retrieve and install a hole bunch of extensions.

Since I tend to plan my installations I usually start with a list of extensions to install.

The EM should be able to handle such a list. That means:

• build a list of installation candidates by either importing a list with extension names and versions or manually search for candidates and select them for a list in EM

This feature will save a lot of time during the setup of a new t3 installation. I would prefer a combination of both methods (manullay and uplaod list). Maybe an extra list with the selected extensions above or beside the 'normal' extension list. So you can upload a list of extensions and remove or add some extensions manually before you bulk import+install them.

• check dependencies of candidates and identify issues
• support cleanup of the list (unresolved depencies)
• import the extensions from the resulting list at once
• suggest a meaningful installation order considering dependencies
• install them

Surplus: dry-run a t3 version upgrade to check breaking dependencies
