GenerallAntilles, if you complain about the formalities ok - I'll take the blame. In reality the internal discussion was about enabling Extras by default yes or not. The decision was YES (finally, and I was very happy about it after all this time). There was the comment about the "Extras" not making much sense nowadays in such context.
I thought I was proposing something obvious with "maemo.org Applications" not even worth discussing since it's a string visible in a place most users won't even see. I communicated to the bug report the same day. You and others complained about "Applications". In the meantime I got to know that "Ovi" would be "Ovi", then "maemo.org" seemed obvious conclusionto make everybody happy.
If still after that you see a reason to be upset, alright and I even understand it. In my pragmatic opinion any community discussion would end up more or less in the same place and the Fremantle program was asking me to give a string without localization needs asap.
edgemon, as explained at
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3307#c16
the user sees "Applications" several times before seeing that "maemo.org" string, if he ever sees it.
As a community member I think we have more important things to discuss than this one. Extras will be activated by default, Extras apps will show up without extras clics from users and theremore I believe most of them won't bother to click the menu of the Application Manager ever.
