The only issue is that if somebody spent days designing own app he dont 
wanna publish it in the app store especially when app is specific to 
company discipline which sometimes may cover classified data and way to 
approach business results :-)
I believe you agree with me?

    Andrew, i wanted to add this:

    if the previously installed custom-module is now successful
    published on the store, then it could be updated through the store.
    Store offers a unique name for each app. So, if you have an
    extension by the name 'TeamDiary' already installed, and now there
    is an extension with the same name in the store, then the store
    would allow you to update it.

        Blazej,

        Customers should have confidence that what is installed through
        Extensions store is verified, and will work fine. For this
        reason, we are not allowing unverified extensions in the Store.

        The command line tool allows developers to test new modules and
        also useful to install custom modules developers do for specific
        customers. We know some generic extensions aren't module manager
        compatible because they change system files (due to API
        limitations or other reasons). We wanted to provide a way for
        users to install such modules by directly assessing the risk.
        The command line tool will come in handy for that.

        Andrew,

            /What about already installed custom modules? Will migration
            tool handle this part? /


        I assume you are referring to the updates through the Store.
        Extensions store will handle updates of extensions installed
        through the store. For modules installed through outside the
        store, the command line console tool will provide a way to
        update them..

        Regards,
        Sreenivas
