As far as i understand, extras is open for non-rh devs to maintain - and if (example) AbiWord was maintained by somebody who used AbiWord reguraly, and maybe even was an AbiWord developer - wouldn't that possibly give a better AbiWord than somebody who never used it exept fiering it up to check that "yum, it still starts" after recompiling, but never sees any bugs etc. ?
