This shows the table navigation arrows to the left. I prefer the centred which they are in the system settings screen shot.

I also prefer buttons for actions like we have at the moment (new style buttons is fine - I just prefer them being more than a text link).

With an ever-growing wealth of extra providers we also need to give some thought to provider management.

Linking the new Status line though. At the moment we only imply that by button status and I think that's not quite enough. Maybe this becomes a popup if there's more than one provider set up (following the same UX pattern decided for the Resource > Add > [to which context?])

Looks great and I would like to share my thoughts:

Move the search input to the left, for me it makes more sense to have the search input above the "name" column.
How can I see what's new in a update and how do I install it?
Don't show actions that are unavailable for an extra (like reinstall for extra's that are not yet installed).
Why not move the actions to the status column? The actions are related to the status.
Maybe it's nice to add a possibility to open the dashboard for the extra by clicking on it's name in the list.
