Agreed. This is not for deployments, this is for development.

Yes.

This would be good, but is basically what we have now in a different format:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/services/update-aslo.php?id=ACTIVITY&appVersion=0.90

and I gathered from Aleksey that this isn't what
activities.sugarlabs.org is designed for. (but judging from further
responses, it's perhaps the only non-manual option that we have for
now)
