The devkit + symbols might be a solution. But that also means that we
basically need to create our own SDK :)

We can say that the for instance say that from a certain point in time
diablo is only supported for devices running the community version of
diablo. (Discussion welcome)

We would need to create a community sdk repo with the updated libraries
too. And the autobuilder would use that sdk.

Having both a plain diablo Extras and a community ssu compatible Extras
would probably not be worth it as the number of downloads for diablo are
really low.

Diablo seems to be EOL for Nokia, although not officially announced.
Everybody wanting new latest and greatest software should use the
community SSU at some point?

Extras is a community run repository, whatever the community agrees on goes.
