it's just hard to get the ten votes required sometimes and i think it's quarantined in there for 2 weeks or something too. And then you have to go back and click some button to "promote it". So half the time the developer doesn't care anymore after that. I guess if you update your app it goes back into devel again? So, yeah, we pretty much all use devel and testing. It's just an extra layer of protection for idiots and so we can say "you were warned" if you actually manage to break something.
