Well, yes, but that is out of our control. This requires convincing
Latu to do that.

I'm just looking for a way to deal with the current situation. For
example, nobody in Uruguay would be able to use the frame clock unless
Latu includes it in an official update. I wish this type of addons
(that in principle don't have strong security challenges) could be
installed by the olpc user like any other activity.

Thank you,

Gabriel
