Hard problem, which is why it needs to be worked on for a year or so. I think the starting point is to identify exactly what we are asking for and why: which binaries do we want to distribute? why? what is planned which requires this? what might someone want to do which they won't be able to do if we don't have this?

Then we need to try to mobilise our friends (Quim, etc) to help understand what objections there may be and how we overcome them and get support for what we need.

There are no guarantees of success but my guess is that it will become harder over time rather than easier (because friends and supporters leave and Nokia cares less about the community). So, it needs to start soon (if it hasn't already).

I am hoping someone who has been involved in some of those discussions already will step forward to lead this.
