I thought that this is what we wanted. Typical normal user for us was guy, who wanted to
install Fuse or something like that to latest JBDS. But since that stuff was EA, he
couldn't find it. Wasn't that the reason which started the fuzz of changing
Central?

Yes, but the original proposal for that change to make things like Fuse more visible was
the "advertise" feature.
This change about making *all* earlyaccess content available by default was a separate
suggestion/experiment.
{quote}I agree with Michael here. Those "advertisable" connectors are useful
when the feature is not available yet. But when it'll be available (as EA or normal
connector) tha "advertisable" connector will be replaced by EA/normal one. User
workflow will be like: Open central -> see advertisable connector -> "Oh... I
have to wait". Next week... Open Central -> see EA connector -> "Finally
it's here!" -> install.{quote}
so...why not have the advertisable connector be able to ask the user to enable earlyaccess
?
That would work fine when we are talking about *new* connecors (like Fuse) and allow us to
avoid the issue of having user to see or choose between two options all the time.
