Indeed :-(

The only thing I'd like to see is if we can *push* to users an update
which will turn on osso-software-version-rx* updates from maemo.org
Extras. I'm not holding my breath, in which case the number of users
who will benefit from this update will be the smaller, self-selecting
set of users who choose to install the package.

Carsten suggested that the install link on
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras could include a declaration of wanting
"maemo-community-updates" - all it'll do, from the sound of it, is
increase the trust level of "maemo-extras" (I wouldn't even make it
certified, if that could be avoided).

Cheers,

Andrew
