This might sound a bit heretic, but what if you could stuff your UX experience (reusing a bit of middleware, but not all the privacy invading **** and with no UX) on top of any Android hardware out there with less than 1 day worth of porting effort? .. Except it would require not using a Mer-based (or for that matter any GNU/Linux) OS and leaving your favourite technologies behind, for the easier spreading. That'd be a lot easier, wouldn't it? What matters more? glibc/systemd; or control over the experiences that is the thing you actually touch; spread easily across the world to everybody?
