I'm not following what you're arguing for. Python is in Extras, -devel and -testing. Are you saying that random Python bindings - unused for any particular application (and therefore untested and untestable) should be promoted on their own; to allow advanced users to install them and develop Python apps on their tablets? Developers can enable -devel and use apt-get. Ideally, they'd turn it off again afterwards. What's the problem? > But currently the people testing complain about promoting things into > extras which are not gui things ....

Also, each repository is a subset of the other; how is this similar to the repositiory mess?
