I see we have a few apps (especially ports and stuff using SDL) that do not know how to suspend themselves and therefore it fails the QA. Now, the problem is that often it is non-trivial to fix/support this, and it's not that easy to point people to the right resources (due to the number of technologies involved). Often the people involved are not the authors, just maintainers, so their understanding of the inner workings/event loops of the apps is rather limited, making things even more difficult. Now, I was thinking, as this sort of bug is a kind of a 'be aware' type, is that maybe we could allow these to pass if they made it clear to the user they are not able to suspend themselves. A popup after install, or a Hildon banner before/during startup... that sort of thing - which is easy to add to existing apps. I agree the best would be to have it done right, but OTOH I would hate to sentence dozens of otherwise functional and polished apps to extras-devel just because of this. Thoughts ?
