"Extras not defined" is FUD spread by certain individuals who have 
refused to cooperate in a collaborative project.  When Extras happens it 
will initially be a quick import of everything we have now.  Lieutenants 
chosen among community members will act as a gatekeeper allowing stuff 
in.  Updates to existing packages will be allowed in very quickly like 
current Extras policy, except directly through CVS.  New package 
additions will however will go through a high level of scrutiny.  Of 
course all of this depends entirely on how much we generally trust the 
contributor.
