<p>Are these extensions shown with OpenStack's client <code>openstack extension list</code> extensions that are <em>available</em> or extensions that are <em>enabled</em>? I ask, because there is a notion of an extension that is not enabled. And I'm wondering if this is showing that the extension exists and is enabled, or that it <em>can</em> be enabled by an administrator?</p>
<p>Also somethings mention <a href="https://devops.stackexchange.com/q/15507/18965"><code>ml2</code> extension drivers</a>, are these drivers listed in the output of <code>extension list</code>?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-02-23)

Are these extensions shown with OpenStack's client `openstack extension list` extensions that are *available* or extensions that are *enabled*? I ask, because there is a notion of an extension that is not enabled. And I'm wondering if this is showing that the extension exists and is enabled, or that it *can* be enabled by an administrator?

Also somethings mention [`ml2` extension drivers](https://devops.stackexchange.com/q/15507/18965), are these drivers listed in the output of `extension list`?
