Is that possible port to N8X0?

As the question "Can distro x work on the tablets?" seems to frequently come up, I've decided to devise a simple code system which can be used to quickly explain the usefulness and feasibility of any given operating system being considered for tablet usage.
I call it Tablet Usefulness and Feasibility System or TUFS.
TUFS works like this: there are two primary fields, Usefulness and Feasibility, and one optional secondary field, Difficulty. Usefulness can be Pointless, Mostly pointless, Interesting, or Useful. Feasibility can be Impossible, Possible, or Already working. Difficulty is on a scale of 1-4 (1 being "easy to port", 4 being "damn near impossible"), and only applies of porting is possible.
So, for Moblin, the TUFS would look something like: MP2. It's mostly pointless (since Moblin's major advantage is targeting Atom for improved power saving), but possible, if somewhat difficult.

So the scale goes from UA0 to PI4 ? I hope you're not mulling a similar scheme for the next "member level" system :-)

If you'd like, I could translate the scale into smilies:
- Usefulness
- Pointless -
- Mostly Pointless -
- Interesting -
- Useful -
- Pointless -
- Feasibility
- Impossible -
- Possible -
- Already working -
- Impossible -

2No, the scale for the member level system I'm mulling is the release codenames.

Umm, Moblin relies on 3D layer and Clutter... so that's 4 for you
