I just ask certain people to give their vote. This is how all elections work: You ask those people to vote who you think have the right understanding. I am asking developers since i trust them more than someone doing those tests to get enough karma to get the next-gen device for free. > a cabal of rebels overruling usually valid issues undermines the process for > everyone. Why are developers rebels? I am not asking those people to give a thumbs up for just everything. I ask them to reconsider and override the vote of someone who perhaps doesn't have enough knowledge of the things he's judging upon. > i have not updated any apps since finding out I also have to handle > optification and other issues. > i'm not upset at the mechanism though. I am not sure i understand that. You "gave up". Is that right? If this i fine for you: Good. But what if you could actually convince these lists members that indeed your app is a win and that e.g. in your case optification isn't useful? Why not giving you a place/group to explain your technical reasoning behind your work? > > What do you think?

Perhaps i wasn't clear. I meant: It's good that there's a mechanism to stop bad developers. But it's bad that you can't stop bad testers. > till, I know you are miffed about this process, we all have growing pains > with the new steps, but we want all our users to have the best experience > possible So do i. Preventing bug-fixes from reaching extras due to issues the version already in extras also has is e.g. useless. You gain nothing if there already is a version in extras which has this "flaw" that's causing the update to be delayed. I am willing to learn: What's the disadvantage of uploading a new version that isn't perfect but better than the previous version? Once a program is in extras the rules what's good and bad just change. Everything better than the previous version should be "good". Or what am i missing?
