repartitioning is NOT a piece of cake!

but I see added complexity -- since any modification to the default system scripts would need to handle units with the older layout.
my current modifications already work with both old and new layout.
I plan to release them in an updated ke-recv package.

In fact, ANY modification to the currently relatively understood simple system will probably make it harder for people to create their custom layouts, unless it's specifically directed to simplifying it - like for example removing the autogenerated fstab nonsense.
I don't consider the current system simple but a mess.
What do you think about future Maemo devices. Should Nokia stick to the current approach (forever)?

hildonfm is opensource; you can edit it and name the folders per your liking.
image viewer, media player and camera app are not open source
