I read Sebastian's post... and is less drastic than that. He seems to
say: include only the well tested, known to work, actively maintained
activities, with an eye towards activitries that serve as a good intro
to the platform and that demo well.

But you say only 6... Which one is it?

The initial proposal I like; makes a lot of sense and raises the bar.
IT basically increases the chances of a satisfactory first use.

Six activities not so much -- you need many steps + internet to add
activities... and it'll be "random activity from ASLO, may well be
unstable or useless". It significantly _reduces_ chances of
satisfaction.

All IMHO...
