  1. Create a new product and handle everything there
  2. Create a new version and use the existing Official platform/Official applications products.

Both approaches have advantages and drawbacks, and I admit I haven't given it much thought yet but what do people think?
I haven't been following the community SSU discussion, so I'm not sure about how the hand-over is happening, but if it's listed under the "Official platform/applications" section in the bugtracker, we're essentially redefining "official"; IMO it would be prudent to wait until the community SSU process has all the kinks worked out of it, and then make a proper announcement, before we start referring to it as 5.2008.43-7++. Otherwise we might run the risk of someone "misreading" something and causing another blogospheric incident like we had the other day.
I don't really think option #1 is a viable choice, though, especially in the long term. It would probably cause all manner of confusion - not only in terms of filing bugs, but also confusion over the nature of the community SSU itself - and probably more work for Andre because of that.
Do we (we being the maemo.org team and/or the community at large) have anything currently set up that would work provisionally for bug reporting? I don't mean a full tracker, but a forum thread is a very inefficient and ineffective method for bug reporting. At the very least, why don't we start a new one for testing, and leave this one for discussion?
