If there is no Extras enabled by default, then I don't think Extras will have any more authority than other repos as "the community's own repo". It is the implicit approval of Nokia that is granted by enabling Extras that gives it all of its authority.

I guarantee that if Extras is not enabled by default, the third party repositories will again spring up like weeds. I think there will be lots of third-party repos simply because the platform will be so huge and mainstream, but without a default-enabled Extras, there will be more weeds than grass in the Harmattan lawn.

EDIT: You think we've got QA problems now? If you don't enable Extras, it will be a nightmare out there.
