You know, I would really love to see what's being discussed visually diagrammed. Some of this is just too confusing for those of us on the peripheral and lacking the constant exposure of people like Stskeeps... a single diagram could make things so much clearer than the hundreds of posts on the subject.

I'm a Visio whiz and would be more than happy to manage such a diagram, but if I took it on I would need a lot of help from the technical experts...

From my perspective this just gets more confusing by the minute. Maybe it's just my ignorance showing, but to me the whole "it's MeeGo, but uses deb instead of rpm" is a recipe for disaster. FWIW I don't even like calling a hybrid "MeeGo". Heck, call it "MaeMee" or something that sets it clearly apart from pure Maemo or pure MeeGo.

I realize some here are gonna give me grief for being so pedantic, but we're talking about branding here, where semantics have significant impact.
