How will this PR1.2 change be reflected on the maemo.org dowloads section 
(i.e. how will it be ensured that the user gets presented the correct 
install-this link) ?

Second, is there a safety mechanism considered that will disallow inclusion 
of 'the other' firmware's repository to prevent potential version-related 
breakage ?

What happens to apps (especially those with Qt dependencies) _currently_ in 
Extras, i.e., how will they get to the fremantle1.2 Extras repo ?
