Ok, since optifying is such a great solution it won't be an issue anymore starting when? Tomorrow? Next week?

Where do I get the hundreds of apps to install when I should "stick to apps that have passed the testing criteria"?
The optifying is a new implementation to Maemo 5 and not common to almost any other (especially mainstream) distribution.

It's been 3(?) months.. people are still porting all the software from the beloved N7/8x0 and other linux distributions over. These all need to be "optified"..

Over time there will most certainly be hundreds if not more optified apps in the main Extras. Plus I *believe* they were working on a way to implement optifying directly in auto-builder.. so every package that gets uploaded will be optified...

Oh Looks like it already does if you add maemo-optify to the appropriate area for a deb package.

The thing about Open Source, (and just the sheer simplicity of), development of software like this community is that getting anyone to follow any kind of 100% standard is really quite difficult.
