Nokia retail figures -> ask Nokia. I'm pretty sure that getting that info will not be easy. I have the Extras downloads figures now. So we can check the percentages after the switch. > However, as I don't have any evidence, I don't object to this approach. > It at > least leaves the door open for the community to decide later that we do > need to update the fremantle extras, if necessary.

I don't know the exact release date of course. I'll make sure things are prepared in advance, so the actual switch can be done relatively quickly. > > For example, I have the GPE stuff sitting in extras-testing.

It is clear for every promotion happening before the PR1.2 release, but when we switch it will go to fremantle-1.2 by default.
