So it would be much like the extras-devel system we have now, with the difference that it's not an all-or-nothing scenario. Of course packages that reside in PPA's would eventually gravitate to extras-testing and extras, but with PPA's there would be no "rush" with the process, as developers could distribute their apps independently for a long time. I find it hard to see anything "wrong" with PPA's as such, but I understand getting the system deployed involves real server admin work. -- Ville M.
