I am no developer, and I have read the warnings, but I am finding more and more that if I want to make the most of my n900 I really do need extras-devel enabled.

And I don’t think I’m unique here! I don’t think it makes a lot of sense for power users, happy to use beta quality software, to need to enable “devel”. That’s what “testing” is for!

So I’m asking the question, is it too hard to get software out of devel and into testing? Are the requirements to strict? Or are developers too conservative?

Because in my experience, most of the apps in devel work just fine. And a lot of them stay there for far too long
