This sounds like a nice thing to indicate, once we are comfortable enough
with the state of connectivity.

This seems too low-level to me.  Can we define a set of criteria for calling
an activity properly "sugarized", and slap a "sugarized" sticker (sweetness
guaranteed!) on those that are?  It should include the basics which all
activities are expected to have, like standard toolbars, journal
integration, drag'n'drop support, and maybe a few other things.  If
automation tools advance far enough, we might even be able to run activities
through that to verify these requirements.

(As a side note, point (2) about data objects will be made irrelevant when
the new Journal designs are integrated, so we definitely shouldn't expose
that.)
