At the bottom, you will find the appropriate button to unsubscribe.

Hey Britt,

In short, the users are not happy.
As I recently wrote on GitLab [1], I'm open to re-evaluating this 
from a design perspective. However, I think we'd need a different 
implementation from GtkStatusIcon, and to my knowledge acceptable 
alternative isn't available.
I believe our goals of putting pressure on application developers to ditch the antiquated app-indicator model fell mostly on deaf ears
The goal was never to force app developers to do anything, and they 
can include a status indicator if they want. It's just that it won't 
be shown by default. If you haven't seen it, I wrote a lengthy 
account on my blog [2].
An example of this biting us in the arse is that with 3.32 TopIcons is causing the CPU usage to run through the roof, and people are blaming the Shell for the CPU usage, not the extension, leaving our users with a bad taste in their mouths.
Can we can do a better job at sign-posting which extension people 
should use?
Allan
