Hi everyone,
looking back in time, when most of applications were distributed as .ipk
packages, there was a reason for "application updates" section of CUs,
to exist.
	In present days, most of applications with their bitbake recipes are
fairly quickly added to particular OS repositories. According to this,
all users upgrading their OS, upgrades their applications also. Also
keep in mind that filling this section with data takes a significant
amount of time.
	Thus a question arises: Is it still necessary to keep "Application
updates" alive?

P.S.This question does NOT include "New Applications" section.

Hi,
I think that the "application updates" is useful. But this it should
write from the applications developers, in this way they know if the
update is important to highlight or not.
My 2 cents

If applications developers had important update worth mentioning in CU,
then it would be great to ping distro maintainers and get that update in
distribution feeds before CU release and then just inform users about
what nice&new to expect with in new distro upgrade.

Completely new applications without recipe/without easy way to create
one are OK to be announced on CU with .ipk link and integrated
later after some users feedback?

Regards,

I think it is necessary:

1. not all apps main developer has control over the corresponding bitbake
   recipe on OE or SHR.

2. Redundancy in this case is very important as every one of us has its "own
   way".

3. Here is live after SHR, other OE distros, debian, openwrt, gentoo ..., 
   I don't follow most of them but having them makes me happy..
