One also wonders if a architecture agnostic "binaries" aren't a good idea for a multi-architecture project, or will there be an Intel vs ARM dichotomy of (proprietary) apps and apps stores for Meego?
You're not referring to a cross-architecture, device agnostic 'language' based on a certain 'dalvik' I hope ?

Apart from that I think you're right. the physical dependency of the binary to the architecture is not good for the unity and uptake of Meego. Then again, proper procedures and a proper common build service (one or more OBSes) will prevent that as much as possible.

I saw discussions on the meego-dev list talking about this exact mixture of closed and open source binaries, for multiple architectures, in one build service. So they tried to do the proper thing
