What's your point? I made utterly clear that the hw guys are not shipping the device with ANY OS installed, and we don't restrict the choice of OS you may install on that hw. Up to you, please stop reducing S/N ratio of this thread by comments of this type. Thanks jOERG
Sorry when my multiple roles in this project sometimes make my posts a bit fuzzy. Sometimes when I say "we" I refer to GolDeliCo with my input and project coordination. Sometimes I refer to fremantle porting task force in community that I plan to coordinate and help by interfacing between hw/ee wold and the kernel hackers. Sometmes I even refer to maemo community at large. Anyway none of the three groups is "locking you in to repos". You're simply asking for changes that have no support.
