The goal was to allow developers to get their apps built for PR 1.2 and into Extras before the firmware images came out.

This kind of backfired because so many people are using extras-devel on their N900s, and because developers couldn't test their own apps to get them promoted from extras-devel to -testing to extras-1.2, since they didn't have PR 1.2 firmwares.

Obviously (to me), this will only get worse the longer we go until PR1.2 is available.
Probably, yes. Niels (ref. above) is looking at some hacks which will help with libhildon issues.
