Frankly I haven't seen much flaming here and even then, some moaning is inevitable where human beings and some inconvenience are concerned.

In any case I was merely suggesting a way of potentially reducing the inconvenience (of a failed update) that leads to the dreaded flaming and moaning.

Why would anyone have a problem with the SSU being first available via development repos? Maemo (Nokia) might even gain some valuable and informative feedback from that crowd before unleashing the update upon the ordinary users.
