That's why you assume that every package will be published.  We do it in Core, 
we should do it in Extras.  If you're so concerned, drive the QA project to 
include Extras, do freezes in development land of Extras and actually DO a 
release, rather than the rolling stuff that happens now.  Don't want Extras 
to be a second class citizen, do something about it.
