Get all developers, put them in prison: you have nowhere to go, you have to support the only real platform now <- that is a weird way to push for linux, I'd say might be non-linux way, lets ask Stallman
And by not loosing many talented people to the "green pastures" of the N9/Jolla many of the Maemo related project that have been talked about but never materialized due to insufficient manpower (updated autobuilder, rewriting more closed stuff, rebasing Maemo, running the PowerVR blog on new kernel, SHR on the N900, newer Python/Qt/Glibc, porting to other platforms, etc.) might have materialised and moved Maemo forward. Many of these projects are still moving forward, but slowly - but they could have been already finished long ago
Yeah, with that approach to members, after all commit suicide, it would've finished right away
in this alternative past and a lot of miracles could be built on top of them.
After Mary mother of Jesus showed up on the horizon every developer turned to Visual Basic

Going to stop here... we don't need more extremisms. We should not jail programmers with only single compiler, that's wrong on so many levels, srsly
