Sorry, maybe that's a series of dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer 
in the thread or in the spec, but I must admit that I  haven't read it in 
depth:

How is this actually technically implemented? seperate archive or special ppa 
or anything else? And how does software-center (as far as I've understood) 
pick up the new applications?

Will this feature be available for maverick? When will new applications become 
available, only after maverick's release? Anything we should watch out wrt.  
maverick's release? 
What is particularly worth investigating regarding m+1's release? How will the 
upgrade path of these applications be handled? (especially, since -- as far 
as I understand it -- these applications are meant to be targetted only at a 
specific release, something which apt doesn't handle (yet?))

Also, who's responsible for the application in question, i.e. who can we 
assign bugs to if things go wrong? Do we have access to directly fix bugs if 
we spot these?

Cheers,
   Stefan.
