A previous discussion can be seen at:

My position is that the CSSU exists to make possible for the average
user things which only Nokia could previously do (such as
upgrades/bugfixes to hildon-desktop & Modest). If something can be
installed via Extras, it should be. If it's a fully functional
rewrite, an additional package can be used to swap the .desktops etc.
This means users can have the choice between, and compare
side-by-side, the original and the rewrite. This additional "bridging"
package *might* require the CSSU. If so, maybe it should be in a
separate repo, a "CSSU Extras" if you will.

See you Monday!

Cheers,

Andrew
