I use extras-devel. Probably because I like using the latest and greatest but as an extras uploader, all my stuff goes to extras-devel first so I wait and see until my applications show up there so I can test. Right now, I'm waiting for the X-Sys X-Chat plugin to show up so I can use it with the X-Chat 2.8.6 I built and sent to extras...

I voted that I leave extras-devel to the developers. As a user I don't use extras-devel. But as a developer I'm using extras-devel to test my own stuff. maemo-extras and the official Nokia repositories are usually the only repositories I use.

I use extras-devel but it is a staging area and the only way to move an app into Extras proper. I tend to leave it enabled since I am often testing/updating programs.

Yes, because my device currently doesn't run mission critical services, I don't mind some testing for now, and some things require it or run better with extras-devel enabled.

Interesting... more than 50% use devel. I hope this does not say anything about the average user out there in the wild...

I didn't answered before because I was thinking my opinion on this topic was not so relevant, if it was stressed this is a poll I were more encouraged to answer...
So what do you do? Do you use "extras-devel"? Or do you wait for applications to appear in "extras" in a distant future?
