? Requiring network connectivity on it's own cannot be a disqualifying cause. 
That would mean you could not publish even a twitter client.

Again, there is a huge number of uses that might legitimately require sudoer 
functionality (like for example for handling low-level network related 
things, think Joikuspot, WiFi-Eye, etc).

IMHO the only rejection clause might be policy violation, not a technical 
one - unless 'non-cludgy' and 'non-hacky' are official technical criteria :) 
(in fact, it would be cool to see what *exactly* the Qt Ovi QA requirements 
are, not just generic descriptions - if someone has a link, I'd be grateful). 
In some super-fantasy scenario, Extras and Ovi should have fairly overlapping 
QA criteria.
