The unstable release would not be of much use since people can not
easily install it on their devices.

Right now, we have a very strict division between packages that are
released by Nokia, and the rest.  You can not update a Nokia package
from the outside.

At least not without making it terrible obvious that it is not just a
mistake.  If 'everybody' agrees that, yes, let's release updates to
libhildon1 from Maemo Extras, then it can be done.

But right now, I would say that this is far from business as usual.
That's why I am emphasizing this.  Would be cool if it becomes business
as usual, of course.
