Sorry but I don't agree.
QA is an important part of all maemo applications.
Many issues on TMO are due to people wrongly and unknowingly using all the repo's

Most of us here know a bit more how to modify and repair but there are still a few N900 users that have no idea how to get root (for example)
devel > testing > extras works, it's a proven method for most repo's, we just don't have as many people testing everything.

Did you check optification? CPU usage? powertop before and after?

Although I agree application like this have less risk than binaries and system packages, it still should go through the QA process IMHO.

This is why I am slowly testing as much as I can.

@Ken-Young you should also bump your thread and ask for people to QA. You'll be surpised how many people look at [Announce] threads with a smile!
