Then what's the point of the two repositories. I thought an app in the developer repo had some sort of peer review before being promoted to the testing repo.
Basically this is a variant of Debian, but leaving it up to the delevoper to promote to -testing and using voting to get from -testing, unlike Debian that uses severe bugs to handle migration from unstable to testing.

Flashing is easy and is done under 5 minutes.

Note by: this thread belongs to the "community" section.
There is *still* a major lack of active voters for extras-testing applications.
Extras-testing voting instructions are available here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist
If even a fraction of the active forum-goers would bother once a week to check through interesting applications in the QA testing list linked from the above page, apps would not have problems passing in 10 days if ready for extras.
