I don't think it is easy to change.  The Extensions manual doesn't have 
access to the numbering (er, lettering) of appendices in the other 
manual.  So we'd have to hard code A and D, and we don't like to do 
that, because at some point someone will edit the Admin manual, adding 
or removing an appendix and changing those letters, and there will be no 
hint that the Extensions manual needs a corresponding edit.
