Wow, I didn't think I would have to, but because of this comment I think it's just about time I told my story. It's not going to happen in this post 'cause it's long and I generally hate writing. But I will state it's conclusion in order to at least inform Roger that there are good reasons why he should stay.

Roger, this platform is so far from perfect it's scary, but it's kicking a*s relative to anything else for this kind of platform. That is a plain and simple fact. You won't find what you're looking for anywhere else, but the best part is: you won't have to. Plenty is happening right here! Or if it's happening somewhere else, it's either made its way here or it's making its way here.

Look, it seems that Nokia is making decisions that couldn't be more wrong for me, and I've felt this way for some time. But I'm not letting it affect me because the FOSS genie is out of the bottle. Nokia and others have provided me with enough infrastructure that I am getting some great work done. Yes, there are areas that either don't exist, don't work or work poor enough to be unusable. I've noted these areas and I've moved on. My n800 is one of those really fat Swiss Army Knifes, and yes, there are a few blades I can't open at the moment.

Like I said, I have a story to tell, and it's a really good story. I'm saddened by the recent dejection of qole, I'm still in shock that brontide disappeared, and I was compelled to write this because eiffel seems to be disheartened enough to fade away. But I beg all of the developers and integrators that are reading this to just take a deep breath and relax. Even though all is not perfect, all is good. Trust no one. Because things are good enough that you don't have to. More later.
