Comment(by mstone):

 Also, FYI, I feel very strongly that newly downloaded activities MUST NOT
 be marked as favorites. Instead, we should show a UI hint indicating that
 a new version of the activity is available, possibly offering the user the
 opportunity to install it as a favorite. I feel this way for two reasons:
 first, because auto-favoriting the new version will tend to hand your data
 over to code you know little about and second, because auto-favoriting the
 new version will tend to promote the spread of breakage. (Presuming, of
 course, that we succeed in offering some sort of auto-download, auto-
 notification, or easy code sharing feature.)

 Also, I believe we discussed this issue extensively in the
 [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Commentaries/Bundles_1 first] and
 [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Commentaries/Bundles_2 second]
 Bundles Commentaries. What do you find faulty in that prior analysis?
