    So no quarantine, no need to gather karma points? Please, update the 
wiki [1], if that will be the case.

    Aniello was saying that developer should have an option to promote 
his application directly into extras regardless of the extras-testing 
QA. I second to that.

    In addition, Aniello had nice ideas about the processes and tools 
how to find applications (and developers) who had probably misused their 
power to promote application directly into extras. There is no hurry to 
implement those, although they could make sense in the long run.

    BR,
