</div></div>I am opposed to this. All applications should be available in Extras: good<br>
bad, easy to use, hard to use. The UI style doesn't define how good, useful<br>
or even usable an application is: there are plenty of bad GUI applications in<br>
the world.<br>
<br>
If people want to create Fart applications and people want to download them<br>
then fine! They should be allowed into Extras. Similarly, if people want to<br>
create CLI applications and people want to download them, that is also fine.<br>
<br>
Leave Ovi to impose rules and subjective judgements. In the community<br>
repository we should allow all applications and rely on users to rate and<br>
review them. Let the users decide!<br>
