After a long time, Nokia enabled Extras for out-of-the-box on Maemo 5, meaning that users would see a large range of software when going to Application Manager.

I think this has been crucial to the success of the N900 - certainly, if I get a device and go to its "get more software" app/page and see only a few apps, I think the ecosystem is dead.

The community put in place a QA system to ensure quality; I think this has also worked (relatively) well to prevent major obvious breakages getting through.

So, the question is, should Nokia keep Extras enabled out-of-the-box on the MeeGo-Harmattan device later this year?
