Hi Kalle,

well if Harbour QA would be doing so well why the flashlight app with 
some hidden data gathering passed it (Artems little provocation :))?
That shows that Jolla QA doesn't have to be better than community QA in 
terms of user security and privacy. That also means that the better 
defense would be some security solution like Smack.

I'm not a fan nor hater of OpenRepos - I never used it anywhere, but 
restrictive Harbour approach is also not the best way. So the thing is 
that either we need Harbour to change like Attila suggested or we need 
another solution. I think that we need something in between and not only 
for open source apps (I guess there are lot of people who would like to 
do commercial closed apps, but for now they have a choice between 
restrictive Harbour or non-restrictive OpenRepos.

Regards,
Filip
