I wonder how the push from extras-testing to extras works? I read
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras_repository_process_definition but I don't
see a final resolution on this.

And while at it, how to we know whether the optified libraries are
"tested enough" to be uploaded? For the PyMaemo optified packages we
got a few success reports (and a few bug reports, that we believe are
fixed now), but given that there is no extras-testing queue for these
package I'm not sure how the QA works in this case (I even opened a
thread on this, see "QA process for 'middleware' ..."

> Also, if you know or suspect other causes for Extras users filling their rootfs partitions please let us know.

If the user has Python applications and only extras enabled, the fact
of the optified packages not being in extras is most probably the
cause.
