I haven't seen many. Most developers don't submit more then 3 times because they know how slow it takes for an update to be approved. Also remember that the only real people that submit more then 4 times are the people that make those effectivebrand toolbars...ew. @Arturo: Considering that extensions will be aproved by trusted-ness (unless I read that wrong), we are screwed. Plus remember, since your extension starts with E, it is highly likely that users will still be able to find your extension. But what if, one starts with P or something? No one will be looking much to the middle. I mean, what user (who is not obsessed with addons) will spend more then 3 min looking through the archives? No one I know. And if your extension is near the bottom, then good luck getting people to download it. And since most people download extensions from addons.mozilla.org, if they can't find yours, then you are out of luck. Sorry. Now then, it's march 5th and the panel is still not unlocked. Can we please get an update on this? @CP:

This is what irritates me most about the current front page extension list.

I've been getting a lot of email from users about it. Any updates on when this will be back up?

I hope they got something better behind the curtains. If they plan to launch the system just like it is on the preview site, it will be complete disaster, starting with AAAAA example above.
