I just hope Ari can see that his particular vision won't suit well with a more massive market. Perhaps there is a sweet niche between massive and enthusiast where Maemo tries to be (that would leave Symbian for mass consumption).

Edit: And said particular niche spot could on how much tuning Maemo needs to satisfy the needs of its target market. Tuning should not be needed for the system to work well out of the box. Tuning should only be needed for making things work very well for a particular use, or to add extra things or for cosmetic reasons (this being the reason of the panorama desktop?).
