The questions I try to ask myself are (1) how much of an audience is there for
it, and (2) who will maintain the code after I've moved on to other things. The
specialpurpose folder contains some good examples of "custom applications" that
have broad appeal and a segment of the developer community that is willing to
maintain it.
If you have a custom application that is highly specialized, and there is the
chance you will be the only one maintaining it, then it might be best to have
it set up as a third party add-on.
