@ade,

Not the kernel. But things like upstart, hal, pulseaudio, etc.

I understand that a desktop Linux system needs to be "flexible" so as to work with various hardware components, configurations, etc. But Maemo5 only exists for a fixed piece of hardware, the N900.

So I don't see why we need abstraction layers everywhere. Plus then Nokia added lots of things that in my opinion are/were not necessary, such as ohmd and bme.

My goal is to "streamline" Maemo5 under the N900 so that things work, but without that extra overhead. Even if there's no gain in performance or memory footprint or anything, just for the cleanness of it
