I don't agree. PPA should be used only to install unstable /
unsupported features. I think the problem is that a lot of very good
programs aren't in the default repository and need to be installed via
PPA.

PPA installation shouldn't be too easy for newbies, because it can be
risky for their system, even if they don't realize that.

The Ubuntu Developer site is now just about ready to solve the problem
of good programs not being in the default repository.

So now is a good time to think about how we can make Ubuntu safer by
making adding PPAs harder.

This is a good thing, but will this programs and others be updated to the newest version or have we still to wait half a year for the next version of ubuntu?
