I don't have any problem with it. I just need to understand and act accordingly. >> Then when I'm finally satisfied, >>promote to extras.

If I want to make sure users get the update, then I bump the revision. If I don't care, then I don't. I had the impression using extras-devel was risky anyway. Adding the risk of different code with the same revision doesn't bother me until it happens in the extras repository. All just my opinion.
