Actually, this is a classic chicken-and-egg problem. Most Maemo5 applications can now be found in Extras-Testing, but not in Extras. In order to promote them into Extras, at least 10 people should try each app and vote for it. But the normal users do not see Extras-Testing, they only see Extras. So, they can't install and test Extras-Testing apps and vote for them. Result: "lack of software" for Maemo5 .
