I don't know the answer to the second question currently.  Being in QA, it's my 
tendency to worry about things of the future as it could be a roadblock.
I guess we'll find out the hard way…  There's only so much we can do if we 
don't have the necessary gonk changes [ if/when we need them ].  
GonkIntegration bugs would give you an idea of what type of things we do have 
the chance of running into.

A suggestion would be to create open source drivers so that we could make the 
whole tablet open sourced… so we don't need to rely on the vendor for gonk 
support.
I doubt that's a feasible suggestion though; thought I'd ask anyhow.  :)  
Otherwise I'd need to think about it more…  :|

Regards,
Naoki
