Since the entire application is built mostly out of extensions from the bottom up, this is a powerful feature. You can use it for example to provide your own app root layout, to replace the implementation of a Utility API with a custom one, to override how the catalog page renders itself, and much more. In general, most features should have a good level of customization built into them, so that users do not have to leverage extension overrides to achieve common goals. A well written feature often has `app-config` settings, or uses extension inputs for extensibility where applicable. An example of this is the search plugin, which allows you to provide result renderers as inputs rather than replacing the result page wholesale just to tweak how results are shown. Adopters should take advantage of those when possible, and only use extension overrides when it's necessary to entirely replace the extension. Check the respective extension documentation for guidance.
