I am willing to fight for the latter case if open source developers are indeed interested in publishing at Ovi. What I'm not doing is trying to convince you to do so. Either you are interested or not. There seems to be different opinions in the Brainstorm according to the votes, even if the discussion here seems to go more in one direction:

I think publishing free software on Ovi is worth fighting for, I can't see any negatives only benefits. If you agree users will tend to use one thing for apps, then whilst community apps in extras is ok, you need them in Ovi to reach a wider audience. It is just how these apps get on Ovi in addition to Extras. Speaking of which, I've voted for some solutions, but made a mistake with 1vote, can I undo votes?
